Default Padded seat options...

I had hoped for fixed back 'race' seats - Sparco or Recaro - but most of them look too wide. I'd rather go for padded seats than plain GRP. These seem to be about my only option: http://www.midlandwheels.com/Shop/P-...ck-Piping.html

Are there any other options i've missed?

My distance between chassis rails is 450mm - not sure if this is book standard or a little narrower than usual...

Really like the look of these: http://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/cobra-.../prod_844.html

But a tad on the pricey side! Hadn't realised that GRP could be padded up like that though... Might take a closer look at GRP after all...

Unpadded grp seats are surprisingly comfortable as well as light. I would suggest sitting in some different types before you make your mind up.
