Sparco seats as per STR8SIX Sag

[FactoryPilot]

Righto folks,

Was speaking to Jason @ STR8SIX the other day about those fantastic Sparco seats in his S/C Red Bull Blue Sag. He said that the Sparco's are actually custom made for TVR due to the sizing and fitting between the tunnel/doors etc. Anyway, apparently TVR had 20 sets which all disappeared.

Anyone know where they went?

I'm desperate to get my mits of a pair.

Cheers, Lee

Lee,

Dom at TVRPower also has a set in his Sag, I talked with him a few years ago about getting hold of a pair. He told me that they had all been handed over to multipart.

I believe that multi part were planning on selling them as a kit (you get the basic seat frame and filling but not upholstered. I did enquire but they were after daft ££ for them.

Maybe speak with Dom and see what he says now.

The seats in the T cars are a real let down, they are comfy enough but don’t give the support that you’d expect. I think sideways has a good solution with the cobra seat, some one has also put a pair of Lotus Elise seats in a T350 – this I think is the option I am going to look at.

I had a pair made up for my Tuscan II which were then moved to the Sag, they are much better than the standard seats if you can scource a pair but do beware that they sit about 30 to 40mm higher than the standard seats so taller people may find them a problem for head room.

Ordered a pair of Cobra Racer Pro for my Tuscan. They are specially made for narrow cabins and will fit the Tuscan.
They will be delivered tomorrow and I'll poste some pics.

Very nice unfortunatley my large arse would have no chance.

Were they supplied branded?

[blackiepaul]

They look great and are just what I am thinking though I have decided not to put the logo on them.

It would be good if you could post a pic up with them fitted.

Hi,
Those seats look great!
I also have Cobra seats in my Tam -very tight fit width wise but Jason did a great job

Massive improvement over std Tuscan seats

Geoff, if you do manage to get a set of Tuscan seats, I may well take you old Tam seats if you sell them.

They look fantastic and far more supportive than the standard seats. A few questions if I may,

Can you chose the colour of the stitching & seat backs and what do they cost?

Thanks

Cobra let you choose the covering material, colour, logos, stitching and the shell in carbonfibre, fibreglass etc.

Cobra trialled the first modified ones in mine a few years ago, they had numerous trial fits & mods to the corners of std design over a few days, with special subframes etc but they're still very fiddly to fit.

But so much better to drive in especially around track ...and roundabouts!

[brem]

finally there in the car! mounted on the original slides, so they are adjustable.

Very nice seats...I love them.
Could you please tell us where you bought them and show some pictures of the fixture?
Thanks a lot

This are Racer Pro seats from www.cobraseats.com
I had to modify the mountings so the original slides could be fitted.
The seats are quite narrow and I suggest to try one before buying them.

Very nice looking seats. I'm surprised to see that the seat belt buckle is bolted to the seat/runner rather than the chassis. Could there be any safety issues with this, if for instance the seat bolts pulled through the floor?
