Thanks guys, a pair of Triton seats it is then :D

I went the cheep route for the time being and bought the KPD ones.. Tehy will do for a couple of years.

I can't remember much about the seats in Spuds Car in terms of comfort, which must mean that they were not uncomfortable. In fact the ride in general with the glass seats was fine even on the twisty back roads outside Hartlepool.

TT

If some could make fibreglass seats that are 480-500mm wide for people that have 46" waist and child bareing hips that would be grand :D Failing that I'll make me own.

Is there then a problem that seats that size don't fit the Roadster?:confused:

You only have to ask Mr Gibbs how comfortable Triton seats are, a couple of years ago at the show in Exter he spent the entire week end sat in them without any discomfort.

Kind regards

John

Think I'll have to just try some and see how I get on, intend to do a few Pistonheads runs, shows and things like that with the car so a few hours at a time spent in the car driving. Will soon sort out whether I can hack it or not :D

Yes I know that a 480-500mm size seat does'nt fit a standard size chassis but then I don't comfortably fit in a standard size chassis any way. The advantage to being a fabricator with a modestly equiped engineering workshop is that I can modify most things to suit my needs. There are more than a few people that end up building McSorley 442E chassis instead of the Roadster because they need bigger seats. I get 2-3 emails or ebay messages a week asking how wide the cock pit is on a Roadster by people wanting to fit full size OE car or after market bucket seats. There is a market out there for WIDER fibreglass seats and chassis.

ive had a sticker made for my roadster that reads

"fat bar stewards need not apply ! for the drivers side

and

"you must be this thin to ride !" for the passenger side :D
