Hi all, Now I know what happened at silverstone I am thinking about fitting an alloy seat who has one and what do you think anyone had a bump in one?.
I believe Kirby make one but who supplies them?.
Cheers for any help. Steve.

Steve, I can probably get hold of a Kirkey seat for you. They come in standard, intermediate and lightweight styles and various widths so you could do with trying one first.
Send me U2U if interested.

Hiya steve

Demon tweeks do them but so do alot of the oval racing shops. I have to say though my injuries would have been alot worse if i was not using the grp seat that i have got as it did allow a bit of movement.

Steve, glad to see that your alright.

Out of interest what type of seats were you using? A home made foam filled one or a fibreglass type?

Hi, mine was a moulded foam one that absorbed the energy and split, Gary I think had a grp and quite a heavy smash.
Regards Steve.

Bloody hell

Must have been some impact

It appears to have ripped Glenn's front wheel and suspension straight off although I didn't see that I was a bit confused at the time.
Regards Steve, when will you be out?.
