Surely these seats won't fit?
Hi all, looking at seats to fit the roadster and i can see this style seems popular: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GRP-Black-...em43b26abd24:(
But just a bit concerned that they won't fit as they are 445mm wide but the space in the roadster is only 450mm wide and that's before you fit 2mm or so plate on the tranny tunnel and not to mention seat belts? |
They fit in my build with plenty of room to spare

The space eitherside of the trans tunnel should be 470mm and these seats are 445mm I believe several have used these as they are a copy of the old 'fabbyglass' Triton seats which were made for the Haynes roadster. |

I would suspect those seats will fit fine, in Davids photo there seems to be loads of room. And £6.95 for delivery is excellent - I was quoted £80 for a pair of similar seats to be shipped within the UK by RoadTrackRace (who sell MEV kits)...! |
There is loads of room either side for mine and my chassis is for a mx5 so the tunnel removes some of the drivers space (the differential input shaft is slightly offset). They come in the nicest box. The postage is better than 6.95. If you order 2 the postage is free.
You do need to mount them on runners as they haven't got flat bottoms. If you look on the site they also sell precut self adhesive pads for about £30.00 . The runners are available through the same site as well for a decent price. |

Dave Bolam has them fitted and they are used by others. |

Further the seats are 445mm and the space in the chassis is 470mm 470mm - 445mm = 25mm So they fit even if the chassis tubes were in that area - Point! As shown in Dave Bolams picture they fit and plenty of others have fitted them but if you are concerned then don't use them BV |
