before i went for the triton seats i was looking at lotus elise seats. they are very comfortable as most production car seats are. they can be had for very little money too as most people rip them out an put race seats in

Those seats look lie they will give little lateral support Bonzo. Something that I believe a motor vehicle like the Locost/Haynes roadster will need in abundance.

Thanks for this, went and had a look and bought a pair. I won't need them for ages but at that price they look to good to miss.
Best,
Enoch

If I pull any more than 2G in a corner.......... I'll snap in half !!??

I must admit I'm tempted at that price, they do look good. Trouble is I had a ride in a Westfield years ago at Curborough and the speed of direction change that thing was capable of was incredible, I really do think I need more lateral support than they will give otherwise I'd get a pair myself.

They would be a good starting point.

I take it they will pass the IVA
