Cool Lightweight Race Seats

Just checking interest in lightweight race seats, both fixed back and reclining.

Who would be up for a GB?

Fixed back version:



Reclining version in FRP:



The fixed back ones are availabe as Fibreglass and Carbon. Off the top of my head the carbon ones are very light at just 6kgs.

FIA approved ones also available.

Will have to check the prices but around £190 for the FRP fixed back, £330 for the carbon fixed back and £330 for the reclining version. All plus overseas shipping, but inc taxes. Will see how much we can get the prices down dependent on interest.

Very nice quality seats having seen them and sat in them first hand.

Different sizes, widths and finishes available.

Express your interest and we'll take it from there

Hi Bob.
Would your projected costings include adjustable seat runners.
If not then how much will a complete package consisting of two SR1's and two set's of adjustable runners be?
Also what would be your estimated time of delivery to my home address?
Many thanks and kind regards Hugh.

These are actually great seats, very light, hold you in place very well and they are comfortable.

I may well order a set for my wagon when I get the mechanical side sorted.

It looks like it's just me and you interested.

Nobody else has added any details of what they want. Without knowing what people want I am unable to get a quote.

Might just be best to drop the GB and see what price they will do for you directly.

Email me and I will send you the details
