Seats

[nelmo]

Does anyone know somewhere down South that has a shop with a range of seats I can try out?

 

The only place I can find so far is Nottingham which is a bit far (but I'll go if necessary).

Cheat at Caterhams Dartford.

Just let them think you are interested.

Wait till the next kit car show. I tried out Intatrim's range and settled on their Odyssey 2 seats. lovely.

Carbuildersolutions don't do seats, do they? None on their website...

 

Intatrim too expensive and Caterham will be as well, I bet. I assume they'll have a limited range of own-brand stuff?

 

This is the downside of our Internet shopping world - fewer places to see before you buy.

Deamon Tweeks do an extensive range but no idea where they are based.

demon tweeks are based in Wrexham North Wales.

Midland wheel suplies south of Rugby would be nearer if they still do seats

Is there no Rhocar meets nearby -- If not try the SKCC site & see if you can park your bum in several of their cars/seats, they have runs most week-ends. (But too early for us old folk )

I think Rally Design http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/ may do a few seats.

 

They are in Swalecliff which is just outside Herne Bay in Kent.

Thanks all. I've ordered some from Bad Boy Classics in Hemel.

 

Item number 171829064993 on ebay, if you're interested.

 

£225 for 2 seats and runners is worryingly cheap but not too far to go to return them if necessary.

I've been looking at these seats for a while now. I think they will fit my exmo.

You'll have to let us all know if they fit along with pictures.

You do :-)

 

I use the eBay app, not the website, so I don't have the Url easily to hand to post the link, otherwise I would, honest. Thanks for doing that...

 

Dave, they are 51cm across the base and I have 48cm between tunnel and side. But the guy reckons the measurement is pessimistic (he would though) and also the sides have padding which should give a bit, so hopefully they'll squeeze in.
