Hi all,

 

I won this item on ebay a few days ago for £79.00 + £12.00 P&P. (No P&P if you would like to collect)

 

I tried to fit it (tubby std seats) so far been unable to get it to fully fit, the Lotus std fitted seats must be a few mm smaller plus when I had them kinda fitted correctly, my knees touched the steering wheel, as it states in the Sector111 Advert (just means I must have long legs...)

 

Also with them half fitted my seat touched the harness bar to be at their best position.

 

 

I'm going to re fit my std rails.

 

This would be ideal for anyone running lotus std seats (or even a lotus car) and would like the lower seats.

 

Its a real shame as I really wanted them to work.

 

I would suspect they might be modded to fit with a little work but thats up to you.

 

 

I'm happy to post but would like the same amount that I paid, unless you wanna pick up then no P&P... I live in Orpington / Kent.

 

Thanks

 

Mark

Not familiar with these.  Does 'eliminate seat travel' mean we lose adjustability?  That could be a good way of stopping the split driving the car but I don't think she'd be too happy

Certainly looks like it becomes a fixed seat - the top two items in the photo bolt to the chassis, and the bottom two bolt onto them in one of three locating holes. Looks like it drops the seat by eliminating the running mechanism.

Correct to above, just a sod, as guessing lotus seats must be a few mm thinner.. I was going to mod them but sticking with std seat now.
