Kit Parts Direct GRP seat deal
 
Has anyone bought / seen these?
http://www.kitpartsdirect.com/item.p...P4POINTKITPAIR

Price seems very low, so I'm guessing they're thin and floppy.

Any thoughts?

I bought a pair of these . They are ok but if you can afford better ones I would go for them. The thickness of the grip around the sides varies so it's hard to get the protective edging on. They have also blistered in the sun.

I have used this company a few times and never been pleased with what arrived. I ordered carbon wing protectors and black grip ones arrived. When they were exchanged the correct ones had tyre marks on them.

The runners that came with mine were so wobbly I had to weld them locked in one position

They are comfy seats but very snug.

Thanks David,

I'll have to give it some more thought. Out of curiosity, if you could go back what would you buy?

I should have worn a mask when I got a pair of genuine leather caterham s3 seats for £60. I know it's the width that is the normal issue with a lot of seats

Thanks Guys,

I'll probably go with the MEV ones. Issue is picking them up as they're not open weekends.

do you have a link for the mev seats?

JasonL 29th July 2015 09:53 PM

No, there isn't one. They don't ship, so I have to drive to Mansfield to get them.

It'd be a bit of a treck for you, I expect.

you might be right Jason :D Be interested to see some pics of them, just don't know what direction I'm gonna go with seats yet.

MEV seats
 
Sent you a PM Dubzter.

Bought them, they're really nice and quite sturdy but they flare to the shoulders so need to be on rails in the TMXR. I was planning on mounting them to the floor, so might just sell them on and keep looking.

If anyone is interested, send me a PM with your email and I'll send pics.
