Seats

[dogwood]

Hi Ronnie mate.

I tried the 7 type seats by Robin Hood.
I found them really uncomfortable..Way too narrow for me.
I ended up buying their Clubman seats.
Not the prettiest things to look at, but for me very comfy

Seats are a very personal thing. I sat in the GBS ones at Exeter. I found that because my legs are reasonably skinny - that there was a lump around my thighs that dug into me. On the other hand my girlfriend thought they were very comfortable!

GBS seats are half the price of Cobra 7 seats they are supposed to be similar to and quater the quality, believe me i have sat in both. Try a Cobra 7 seat, padded with lote of suport at the sides.

A mate went over to Belgium in a locost last year and did a track day at Zolder ? said best seats he has ever had, and is in his 50's.

Contact cashy on LCB who sells all types of Cobra seats at big discount, evolution_uk@btinternet.com

I was lucky to pick up a pair of Westfield sport seats second hand very cheaply, and if you can find some, they are really comfy, and fit perfectly.

Cheers for the input David, David, Mike & Adrian

I guess it will have to be a try before you buy sort of thing

Agreed, seat comfort is a very personal thing .......... I could drive my old Citroen BX estate for hours on end, My Zantia seats were quite plush but could only manage a couple of hours in them & alas, my Mazda 6 ones arn't much better.

Sat in a seat in Halfrauds the other day ....It was dreadfull

Yes david, I believe that the seats in Trophy Blue's car were clubman type ones, I found them quite comfortable.

Know I have to be realistic here & can't blame seats for my own missfortunes

Finding the right seat will make driving the Roadster " That little bit more fun " .

Worst come to worst, there is always the custom upholstered option.

Methinks it would be best to wait untill Stoneliegh show & sit my ass in a few before I make an unwise impulse purchase

Bonzo take a look at the Mamba Baby Cub seats from Midland, I´ve been told that they should be realy comfortible. For the moment they sell a black seat with blue pipings for £ 50....

Thanks for that information Janne

I would have never came accross that site in a million years !!??

Well I wasn't going to buy on impulse but at that price the temptation was too great & just the sort of thing I was looking for

Ordered a pair in Black with Red piping £122 inclusive of VAT & delivery

To be honest at that price, they could be re-upholstered at a latter date if needed

Here's a link if any folks are interested

Baby Cub Seats

Never ceases to amaze me how folk from other country's find quality info like this.

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

I have a pair of those in my MG Midget. I think it would be fair to say that they are good seats on a budget. The main issue I find with them is that there is little lateral support on the seat base - more of an issue in a Roadster than a Midget I'd think
