Has anyone gone the whole way and binned the standard seats?

And if so, what for?

My drivers seat bolster needs fixed, which I could do, but frankly I don't find the seat very comforatble anyway.

Funny you should mention this as I've been considering it.

Some of the last of the Tuscan II's came with Sparco seats (if my memory serves) but I'm having trouble working out where to source them from. Someone must have supplied TVR with seats and runners.

I've also considered getting some second hand Cobra seats and getting them trimmed to match my car. Loads of seats on eBay.

LEt me know how you get on and I'll post any links to good seats I find.

Will do!

Just found this on Graham V's fantastic page:

* Seats You may find the seats seem to move a bit after they have bedded into the carpet; they are secured on the underside by four nyloc nuts; The seat belt mountings are fixed to the seats and if twisted the seat has to come out to sort it. The Tuscan seats weigh 16kg each! The standard set up is not easy to fit a 4 point harness. Cobra seats have manufactured a set of Imola S seats which are complete with the correct sub frame, TVR colour coded and logo'd as required; contact:- (Thanks to Paul Edwards (tail slide) who has the first set fitted)

Could be the way to go!

Nice.

I think I would go for recliners though. I like the idea of the Cobra Misano's trimmed to match my interior with TVR stiched into the back rest.

Need to get mine serviced first though in case anything comes up in that.

Been pondering over this one my self as the standard seats in the Tusc are at best ste.
The ones from Tamora's (and I think they're the same in T350's) are a better seat but the price being asked for a pair from a breaker is on a par with getting some brand new aftermarket seats so not really worth it as they may need work on them too!
Even been looking at other possibilities too, the ones johnbear fitted to his Chim are out of an S2000 and they look great but he did say it was a lot of work to make them fit.
