Ok...now I'm getting a little interested here.
I'm looking for a set for my Caterham SV and by feck I'm not shelling out £600 of a pair of GRP tillets, even if rimmed in gilt edging.
Alot of the seats tilletesque I've sat in are too flexible and has Triton points out I prefer the back section of the seat to be a better
finish.
Can you guys supply rigid, stronger GRP seats with the option of runners fittment?
I'll also be looking at either suade/alcantara fixings at the required areas. I can get my hands on the carpet finish Tillet use for the
Caterham and finish off the seats as look alikes.
Prices guys... ?

Where did you get those seats???? They are exactly what we've been looking for! Especially the inserts, they look perfect - any details??

I got the pic from an eBay auction here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8028900898&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1
The auction has ended but the contact details are still there. The guy's name is Len and he is very helpful.
I havent a clue who makes them - he is a distributor.
I liked the inserts too (not my choice of colour though) - a good compromise between race & road.
Cheers,
Raz

I wish they had been available when I was building my car! Shiney

Have you got those measurements Mark?  Also where are the mounting points located?

Another question for Mark - are you open to visitors? Not sure when will be in the area but would be nice to have a sit in the seats!

Can I see the backs of the seats... have they got much thicker composite to prevent side flex.. the MK ones have a strengthened back section I think

Similar cushions are also available from Reverie, at similar (starting) prices. They have a lot of different choices in colour and material though
(I'm considering them for my seats too).

Found 'em
I think I'll give their seats a miss though - my chosen one is over £2000 inc vat!!

To make the seats with a gel coat back will require new pattern then new mould, you then have the problem of two seats to make one so the price will
reflect that, making them nearer £200 each.
I can use surface tissue as the last layer to achieve a smoother finish with a look similar to flocking.
Silver grey pigment is available no problem.
With recent happenings the seat I had lined up to be trimmed has yet to be taken to the trimmers for assesment.
Cheers
Mark

Thyanks Mark,
The tissue option sounds as though it would be ok - the seat backs will be visible but its not a breaking point.
The silver gel coat is a definite plus. and if blue upholstery or pads are available it just gets better.
One question though (well two really  ) Is the 30 degree angle feasable and are there side mounting points built in?
Cheers,
Raz

Seat angle is ok and I can make them side or base mounted as long as I know which beforehand.

Or you could send them to me for flocking of the seat backs in black! :- )
I shall be ordering a pair of seats from triton shortly (Paypal account is nearly at £200 target) and it makes sense for me to flock the backs of my
own. I will post some photos of the results.

How much....

High side, normal width, smooth front in black. They are for my Indy. Like the photos at the beginning of this thread.
Should hide the matt finish pretty well.
As for how much... will have to see how much materials i use to do mine. Should be up to my target by the end of the week so will be able to tell you
soon.
Cheers.
