Seats

[Rob E]

Steve at Tillett (or Steve Tillett!) is going to let me have a B4 seat to carve up to fit the Phoenix/Striker. The Striker chassis is very narrow and the front of these seats is too large. He is then going to refinish the edges so the cavity between the skins isn't open.

In carbon ??

Yes, carbon composite

[Rob E]

Yes, carbon composite

How much is that with the extra help from Steve ??

[jeffw]

Not something I'd say on a public forum......The bit you sit on is carbon but the back shell is GRP.

I think i can imagine It does look comfy though, you think there's much difference between the tillet and the triton ?? What are you using at the mo.

[Rob E]

My god, just had a look at some of the other seats they do cheap not.

Didn't say they where cheap I have Tilletts already (look in the car gallery and you'll see something familiar). Tillett supply Caterham as well as loads of other companies (Reynard & Radical etc) so really not in the same market segment as Triton. Plus they are in Sittingbourne and Steve has been known to do a deal or two....

I ran Tillett seats in my Kart. Brilliant seats and bullet proof. No not cheap but if I could justify the cost (if I had a need for them i.e. racing) in my Indy I wouldn't think twice.

Don't think it matters who they supply, I think just because someone supply's a higher end company doesn't mean there seats going to be the only comfy seat out there, have you sat in a triton or jk ?? I sat in marks but can't remember what it felt like, need to compare seats when al the cars are back out, think tillet are way out of my league though.

Rob if comfort is your main criteria then don't buy a tillett. Lots of compairable seats out there for a fraction of the cost. I would hazard a guess not many if any stronger or as protective but comfy yes.
