Hi all
I am toying with the idea of putting a bucket seat in as I'm hoping to do more track days and find the standard seat unsupportive (as it's a bit saggy) or rather uncomfortable with fresh foam.
A friend has buckets in his Chimaera which I find quite comfortable so was wondering what would fit? I know tvr's can be a bit narrow of cockpit so are there many that would actually go in?
Any tips or experiences shared are welcome.

Thanks for the replies.
I do indeed know Lewis with his Cobra seats - I just wasn't sure if there were other options. I actually find his seats quite comfortable even over long distance so maybe something like that would be best.
At the moment, if I corner too hard, I slide out of the seat!
Happily my waist is 32" (for now at least), so a narrow design of seat should hopefully not be too much of an issue.

I have a spare set of Elise seats that were heading to the Gredge before it was pranged.
I think I have a set of Lotus bases for them to (they're the expensive bit). Just need a set of ali plates to give a flat plane to fix too.
They don't owe me much and would certainly be cheaper than new. They are either tan or cream. Certainly lighter than Samy's interior which I think is doe.
Found some pics - does look like I have a set of Lotus bases as one is poking out the side in the background.
Bit of damage on the bolster but repairable. I'm looking at making a form of 'sock' to protect this area on the set in Samy and also a strap to hold the seat belt in place to stop it pinging off behind the seat.
Have you done the 'seatbelt' mod?

Bidding appears to have gone a bit mental though. Can't remember how much the last group buy was.

I've just got a price for the Intatrim seat that some of the Chimaera guys have fitted £228 for one, delivered. So I'm contemplating doing that. Possibly...!
