'S' Seats

[v8s4me]

Anyone out there got a pair of seats taking up space and needing a new home? Condition not too important and vinyl/fabric would be ideal.

Thanks

Nice bit of velour for you http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/TVR-Wedge-350i-Tasmin-Seat...

Yes, I saw those. Quite a trek up to Hunstanton though. The seats I have are in better condition than those but are very uncomfortable. The headrest is actually between my shoulder blades and my neck aches after just a few miles. 'S' seats I know are very comfortable and will fit straight in. MX5 are another option I suppose.

Joe, are your current seats Chimaera?
If so i'm having the same problem with mine, seem to find myself sitting offset in them.

The seats I have in my 'S' are Cerb ones, and very comfortable they are too. I'm on the scrounge for 'S' seats for my Tasmnin because I know from experience they are very comfortable, although the backs on these are low too, but not as low as the Tasmin ones.

Have you tried putting spacers under your existing seats? You may also find the runners aren't quite aligned. This is what could be causing your lopsided effect. Based on past experience with my old 'S' seats I'd suggest you take the driver's one out and refit it carefully using a sprit level and spacers where necessary. A bit of fiddling about might improve things for you.

Cheers Joe,

I hadnt given that a thought, just assumed it was the seat.
It's now on my expanding to do list!

How soon are you looking to put them in?

I ask as I am aiming to change my current S seats over the winter as I fear they don't really work for me.

Like you, sometime over the winter. I see you're in Herts; where abouts? maybe I could come and have a look? Or are you going to Shuttleworth in a couple of weeks?

I'm based in Cheshunt, so welcome to come and have a look at some point.

Sadly I won't be at Shuttleworth, though it would be nice to see another S one day... I've never seen another in the wild so to speak!

But it is on the TVR Regional Events Calendar It the Herts Group monthly meet, usually (but not always) on the 3rd Sunday of the month. It can get moved if Shuttleworth have a flying event on that day.

Be good to see more 'S's there.
