dalongbloke Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Got pre S-type cloth seats at present in my 97 long cockpit live axle. Do you think I would get more leg or headroom from a bench seat? 6'2.5 and on the limit with both.... Andy. Hence da long bloke. See? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalongbloke Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Aye.. twood be verily low, but far too expensive right now... my choices at present are limited to pre S type or bench... Have to say I LOVE the look of benches.... Edited by - dalongbloke on 17 Nov 2008 22:39:33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboylaw Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Have you moved the pedals forward? I use the standard cloth seats on runners and these are fine for me (92 LA, long cockpit) and I am 6ft2 longy leggy with a small butt. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Cheap and best fit will be a moulded foam seat made with you sat in it for a perfect fit. Steve. Sussex (West) AR Not forgetting Percy the Polar Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextangent Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Don't know where you are based, but I have a bench back and one seat complete, with another seat with the base removed due to wet damage causing delamination of the ply. I'm in Edinburgh. Let me know if you're interested, won't be expensive, but the postage/delivery could be a bu99er. Belay that, just saw Worthing. Perhaps a Gonads; I'm in Ilkely Yorks this weekend if you are interested. Alex McDonald Loud, louder, loudest...

jonboylaw Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Alex, are you sure the water damage was delamination? Hope you are well and things are good. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Nick Chan Posted November 18, 2008 Area Representative Share Posted November 18, 2008 Andy, I think the pre-S types have quite thick pads (and why they are quite comfy!) which uses up some of the available depth and height in the cockpit. A foam filled seat with a lot of support under your thighs would easily give more space for your height. Nick ----- Back in a BEC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 For me the seats used in the first DD are the best, but i have no clue what type they are. Or u could use the old type low back race seat. Edited by - elie boone on 18 Nov 2008 16:57:52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfield Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I used a couple of pre S type seas in my old Westfield… they replaced some bench seats which were fine in terms of leg room but the Pre S type sat me too far forward as the back was more “laid back” I ended up taking the trim off the seat back and bending the back until it became more upright, if that makes sense. That gave me 2-3 inches more leg room… very comfy seats…. I love my Elise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
