which seats?

Post by norma »

After 11 years, shit, no, 13 years (!) the Stylus is due new seats.
I'm 6'1" & the existing seats are a little high, want some bare carbon/kevlar items.
Obviously, its a squeeze in there - has anyone got a seat recomendation?
I got her started today after 2+ years and its re-ignited my enthusiasm to get her back on the road....!!!
(Oh and fit those rear arms Rob!)
Cheers

Best seats with rivnuts so's to mount them on the floorpan are TILLET from memory. Check out their website/google it. There's a photo on there of seats in a Phoenix . CARBON KEVLAR but also fibreglass.
I just love the Stylus but she keeps swallowing £££ !

Be wary of some of the cheap ones sold as they are very thin and unless the backs are fully supported they flex and crack easily.

I've got some Caterham Tilletts to go in mine - I've dropped the floor so the base of the seat is about an inch lower than the standard floor pan - speed bumps should be exciting :shock:
