Hi,
Don't want to hijack the post at all, but what are people's experiences with the support of these seats as far as your thigh is
concerned?
I have been in a car where the owner claimed they do get a little uncomfortable as you constantly need to hold your legs in the driving position
flexing the back of your thigh muscles.
Any ideas if one particular seat is better than the other in this respect?
Thanks!
Gergely

My concern as well!
The support under your thigh is key to comfort, its this bit that should take your weight, not your bum!!!
Once I find a suitable supplier, I'll be sitting in them first before buying, as I am very fussy about seats.

Hi i dont think you will find a seat of that type (unless spending many £'s on a true carbonfibre) to take the loads/jarring of your application
and be relativly comfortable. I have never found one that can take the 3.5 g round the corners whithout flexing to much unless adding a shed load of
extra bracing/weight.
Best sugestion i can think of is a kirkey job of the slightly larger size and then do a 2pac foam insert to your requirements.
Should give a verry strong outer frame and a verry snug made to measure fit with all the support needed.
cheers matt
EDIT PS i take it this is for the 126 monster and not the ST.

Best ones ive sat in are the Fluke/Mog Racing jobs, although they are not cheap.
If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!

I got the same as Nib as the bloke just lives around the corner from me.
Much better made than MK and the like as they have an additional recess/strengthening bit inbetween the top belt holes and more reinforcement on the
bottom shell.
You're welcome to fly over if you like and have a feel, but I'm a good 1 1/2 hour away!

Ahh sorry Matt, no its (well they) are for the locost!
Had though about kirkey's for that though as well!
I've taken up your u2u suggestion, but I need to get some measurements which i haven't had time to do yet!
PS you don't have any aeroscreens laying around do you that would fit on a Stuart taylor scuttle?

Someone clearly has a very serious aerodynamics kit. I am also interessted in what car is achieving 3.5g round the corners, obviously not a Locost!
