Tamora seats - Not enough lateral support?

[Harrow_tam]

Having had the Tam for just over a year and still loving it to bits, one thing that slightly frustrates me is the lack of lateral support that the seat provides. Admittedly I'm not a porker but I'm also not exactly a string bean but the seat seems to be made for somebody much wider than me.
I was thinking of going to see a trimmer to find out whether the seats can be modified or maybe get some kind of insert to make them fit me better.
Has anybody found the same problem and come up with a suitable answer?
I don't really want to change the whole seat by the way.

Take the seat base out. The bit you sit on..

It's my back/shoulders that feels laterally unsupported, not my ar$e

Its a common question and the only quick fix is, as I said, some say a Lockie seat belt adjuster works or like me change the seats..

What did you get in their place - bespoke or off the peg?

Off the peg.

I've been having the same issue in my Tamora with regard lateral support.

Looking in the classified, there is a Sagaris with different seats which appear would have greater side supports.

Does anyone know if this is the case and whether they would fit in a Tamora? And can they be sourced to buy at all?

Fairly certain those are Tuscan (or possibly Tuscan 2) seats.

No.

I have the 'Tuscan' style seats in my Sag.
Lateral support is poor
The original Tam, T350 and early Sag seats are better for support than the 'Tuscan' type

However; take the 'Tuscan' seats apart and shave a couple of inchces of foam off the back and they can be made to give better lateral support.
