Hi James,

They look almost identical to mine which I bought from MK Sportscars. Their seats are a near (very near) copy of some other seats whose origin I can't rememer, and these look identical (look at my pics in archive, although I have modified mine with carbon fibre).

As far as im concerned they are very confortable, I am approx 6 feet tall and 12.5 stone if that helps. Ask anyone on the MK section as many have them.

They look like a copy of the the seats Tillett make for Caterham. I can't rate these but I can rate Steve Tillett's products, top notch, cars or karting they are not the cheapest but possibly the best, and extremely well made in terms of crash-worthiness (minimal splintering)

I've got a pair of these in my Indy, not good for shall we say those who like a pie or 4, very narrow around the derrier but really supportive.

They should come with M8/10 (cant remember the size) fittings embedded in the seat frame for fitting quick and easy.

Also they are untrimmed so you'll need c8 metres of U section.

Very popular MK sourced seats probably or a close copy. Which were a copy of the Tillet Chaterham seats as far as I could tell. I did have a pair for my Striker but no way would one fit in the passenger side (strikers don't have parallel chassis rails like most kit cars). The drivers side just a bout fits. Anyway they are a good comfortable supportive design. You do need to use all 4 mounting points on the base or the whole seat can twist.

Just recieved mine today . and I have to say that though I've not looked too closely at others I'm very impressed with them . They are tidy well finished strong and comfortable (a bit of a tight squeeze round the ribs , I'm ahem! 13 1/2 stone and around 5'10+) for this price I see them as a real bargain and if anybody wants to see a few pics I can email them or if somebody can teach me I'll post them on here . delivery was quick and although he seems a man of few words he followed up the order and checked all was well

cheers
Ian

AGREED - Tillett seats are very high quality. We have had great results with them in the Fury.
