Hi Arthur, the seats im using in my build are Lotus Elise seats and frames, as it is a fun road/trackday project these offer a combination of good lateral support, low down seating position (which gives better headroom for crash hat, but are also comfortable enough for a longish journey. I struggled to find a modern race type seat that would fit around the roll hoop.
A number of people use them in chimearas on the trackdays, they come up on ebay fairly regularly and as they are leather they seem to last quite well.
I bought the cream coloured one first as a single (passenger side) and kept waiting for a drivers side to turn up but it didnt, so in the end bought the dark blue pair.
Hows your M doing, been on the road what a year or more now?
Regards,
Phil.

Hi Richard, standard track, had them on my griff for track days. Bought them from John Reid here:

Never liked the folded metal ones much, especially corroded ones!
Your Griff still moving forward?
Regards, Phil.

Rolling chassis is all done, back to fibre glassing the tub now, hopefully it is coming together for this summer!
Impressed by your rear wheel arch design by the way, nice profile well done!
Cheers, Phil.
