Looking good, although my womanly hips might struggle with the width;) Will the angle of the side interfere with getting in and out? It's hard to tell when you can't see it against the tub.

[mandarinvx]

Hopefully they'll come out somewhere between the Tillets and the Mogs practicality wise

[Muncher]

Looking good! When will the first ones be ready to try out?

[mandarinvx]

Hopefully in a couple of weeks, I'll give him a bell again tomorrow, I'll also see if he's sorted out pricing and options available

[Muncher]

One thing I noticed on that one, no side cutouts for harnesses, I assume they are meant to be there?

Hope so

I mentioned it to him by email today, just in case

subject to seeing pictures of one fitted and a revies on how easy or hard it is getting in/out i will have a carbon one.

[drgoatboy]

looks good and prices seem excellent. Would need to try one out (being freakishly tall) but very interested still!

[SteveA]

At that price I would find it hard not to buy one for track days. Will it accomodate a 5 point harness?

[Winstar]

As long as I can get my fat ar5e in them then I'll be interested in a pair.

[A13X]

From that pic the sides look very deep. I'd say they're as deep as my mog's. I'll get a similar pic of the mog's for comparison. Can't complain at the price though, should be a cracking deal for members!

MandarinVx, for us weight conscious people please could you let us know the weights of the 3 seat types (and importantly, please can you state whether that includes the weight of the runner or not (and whether its the heavier driver runner or lighter passenger one). Many thanks.

Yep, the fifth slot will probably be an option, as many people will go for the 4 point Schroths

It isn't finished yet, but I can ask

They haven't made a gf/cf or cf/cf one yet, so that weight may be a few weeks away

[mandarinvx]

The design is now finished
















I've asked them to get some weights,

The seats above are twin fibreglass, and are fitted with the leatherette pads - so £225 each

[Retset]

OMG, they look great!! I would like to see a pic of one in the car but am already thinking it looks like it will be brill for track work. Like a MOG but much cheaper I have a rather wide backside , but can fit a MOG OK - perfect in fact ... no room for movement! I will be interested to see if the bum area is similar to the MOG. Also interested to know if it is a similar backrest rake to standard seat or if it is more reclined - the former I hope.

[A13X]

They look great for the price The carbon will look Have they developed fixed mounts? If not how would you mount the lap belts on the harness when using the standard runner? Might get a set of the pads for my mogs, slighly cheaper than the £250 each that the mogs cost

[mandarinvx]

They are retaining the standard seat belt fixing method - ie a 7/16ths UNF point on each side, so the harness can fix directly to the bolts the seatbelt would normally fit to

Mmmmmm, they make me moist!
