Seats

[Bonzo]

I have been giving some thoughts as to the best seats to use for my build.

As a personal requirement, i'll be needing a seat with some degree of comfort !!??

My problem is that the majority of the time, driving for any amout of time can be very painfull

I really do want to make some good use of the Roadster when it finally hits the road, seat choice for me is going to be very important.

Yes a well designed GRP seat is comfortable & provides good support ( Tritons seats are proof of this )
That said they are almost certainly going to be too rigid for my needs.

I thought that a solution had been found in the form of a Reanault Scenic seat ( Middle, rear )
Fits the chassis like a glove, decent back angle similar to the angle in the Roadster.

However, when I used the IVA head restraint measurment method, it looks as if the head restraint is too low !!??
Besides the good lady wife is none to keen on a Heath Robbinson seat
I guess I can see her point of view. The seats will be one of the Roadsters most focal points to look at.

Now to the main point of this post

I have seen 7 type, seat pairs listed on The Kit Parts Direct site (GBS)
£160 a pair !!??

Has anyone sat in a Robin Hood seat ( I assume GBS uses them for their cars ) ?

Can anyone point me in the direction of a sub £300 pair of seats ?

All hints/comments will be most welcome
