tgracing Posted April 24, 2001 Share Posted April 24, 2001 Ah, now I can help. I am 6ft 1in too. I also have a 1600VX Classic (until someone snaps up a bargain). I have used the Caterham S-type seat which was in for SVA, but I now use a seat pad which I got from Classic Carriage. It's basically a sheet of two or three inch thick foam which is covered in vinyl by an upholsterer. It then attaches via poppers to the floorpan and the rear bulkhead (with a bend in the middle). Hey Tesco! A comfy seat which allows you leg clearance and to see through the windscreen, as opposed to over it. With the pedals at the back of the pedal box I can just about get my legs straight with the clutch fully down. It's an easy job to remove if you want to put a std seat back in. There are after market seats by Cobra and others which you can get thru Europa, but I'd recommend the Caterham seat or the seat pad - personally.

Graham Sewell Posted April 25, 2001 Share Posted April 25, 2001 Any idea how much these seats are, and how they compare to the slimline bench seats? Cheers, Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgracing Posted April 26, 2001 Share Posted April 26, 2001 I can have a look at the Europa catalogue tonight and post tomorrow, although I'm sure there's a website somehwere. I could have a look at the front of the catalogue tonight and...ah, flawed plan. I seem to remember when I was looking around that i didn't work out much cheaper than a Caterham seat. I think they're about 150 quid-ish and I was looking at a swapover where I got a rebate for my fibreglass race seat of 60 quid anyway so the Caterham seat came down to the same sort of order. DBo.

I reply to every thread Posted April 26, 2001 Share Posted April 26, 2001 Europa sell Corbeau seats among others. Corbeau - who are in St Leonards, East Sussex - will make up seats in colours/dimensions other than their standard ones if you talk to them. They're not fantastically cheap but they made up two "Tailored" seats for me a couple of years ago for £300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
