Supersprint1988 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Was planning to replace my early style adjustable seats with S-type leather, but a research on Blatchat just left me totally confused if Tillets or S-type would be best for me Mainly cruising, one or two track days a year. I am 6feet 3inch and the car is a dedion/long chassis.Floor not lowered.Don't want bench type or foam seat for the moment. It seems the best way to find out is trying . SO THE QUESTION IS: Anyone near Nottingham with tillets / S-type seat that I could try 🤔 Cheers Carsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Dave Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 A lot also depends on how wide your hips/arse is. S type allows for a greater width 😬 David Smitheram, Wiltshire (South) Joint AR, 07718 368173. 1600 supersport race car www.racelife.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulCo Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I'm on the west (wrong for Nottingham) side of Derby - you are welcome to try the tillets in my car, which is the same spec as yours. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k.russell Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 caught me a week too late Carsten, i have just cut out the floors to lower the tillets to the floor and off the runners, you are welcome to come and have a sit in the Tillets in the new lower position. to get an idea of the feel fit etc. drivers seat is not bolted in at present though. my pedals would also be too far forward as i am only 5' 6",also car has no cage, waiting for my new SLR cage, and no windscreen only aero. ps i would pick tillets over any other seat every time, even for touring. mine have been in since they first became available.

Supersprint1988 Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Gents I have now bought Chris´s cloth S-types for sale here on BC, and a lowered floor is planned also. If I feel comfy in these perhaps I will ask Oxted to cover them in leather. If not they will come for sale on BC again. Thanks again Carsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
