They are very simlar to my seats, I get plenty of lateral support.
Not from the seats though.......
Personal padding..

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,

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

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.

How is that for service from Midland wheels ??

Ordered a pair of seats 11am yesterday ........ Arrived this afternoon at 4pm

Well I have sat in one on the floor. The lower squab provides a well cushioned pad for my ass.

If I raise the front of the seat base by about 25mm, the back of the seat will provide a nice comfortable angle for me to drive.
Contrary to some views The shape of the seatback does provide some degree of lateral support ........Anyways that's what the 4 point harnesses are for

My verdict ............ A well made budget seat that will serve my needs & at least will get me on the road that little bit quicker.

After all, i'll not be taking the Roadster on the track & will not be hooning around country lanes like a loon ............Not be able to resist a little blast on a nice straight road though

If you are looking for a basic, lo-cost seat to get your build on the road & keen to keep to a tight budget, I doubt that you will find better value for money.

If you are looking for an all singing & dancing racing seat, you'll be dissapointed !!??

I'll post a picture when I get a moment

Here's a quick picture



Good value at £50 I would say

I'm impressed. Trust the ones that I want ( yellow piping ) aren't on offer.

Happy New Year

Good taste... identical to the ones in my Midget - black with red piping. I think at the end of the day, seats are horse for courses - I've got a pair of Mark's Triton seats but, as you say, these are a good budget buy

[Bonzo]

I was pleased that the ones with the Red piping were included in the sale

Will contrast nicely with my Red body work ...............Oh bugger ..........That was supposed to be top secret

Would have loved a pair of Triton seats, I just know that any rigid seat will FUBAR my back, big time.

Afraid in my case, comfort comes before looks .... If I am to get some real enjoyment from driving the Roadster

The tunnel and side pannell gives support



I have asked if they can do the Black and yellow at £50 as that's my Colour Scheme,
