Tuscan seats in Griffith

[NiaLaurie]

I have had Tuscan seats fitted in my 4L in place of the always slightly disappointing standard ones. In addition to looking great they improve the driving position, giving more visibility.

Not sure about the color combination, but Tuscan seats surely look great in a Griff

Yes.....a huge improvement !!

Actually, the tan colour with Ocean Haze and biscuit carpets looks a better combination in the flesh than in the photo. The photo makes it look quite garish, maybe its the lighting.

I have one in mine as well, still need to get it retrimmed. Great for trackdays when you take the cushion out.

Three more Griffs with tuscan seats:

Anyone put T350 ones in a Griff, really like the look of those, and may offer better protection from the factory roll bar

Sagaris seats in the blue 96 HC that's for sale on here.

This one?

That is a great deal with the JE 5.2 engine and those seats.

I've got 350 seats in my car, they fit (just) - they're extremely comfortable (especially if you're 6ft+) but they do interfere slightly with the bolts that hold the hood on. You can get around this by moving them across towards the centre of the car - but again, there isn't a hell of a lot of room.

To give an idea how tight they are, I've got hold of some new allen bolts for the hood pivot and am waiting to get someone to turn the faces down on a lathe - we're talking mm's.

I had the same issue with mine. I put shims under the outer slide rail to tilt the seat into the cabin slightly, not enough to actually notice it but enough for the wing to miss the hood bolt (only needed around 10mm packer to achieve it).
