James,
Your seats should have the removable cushion that when taken out leave what, is in effect, a bucket seat. The exception is the Tuscan seat that has a removable cushion but the space left after cushion removal is not so inviting...

As far as I am aware, all Tamoras and T350s up to around mid 2005 build have that typoe of seat.

I thought that all Tamoras, T350s and Sags with the hard back seat have the removeable seat cushion option. Mine has material under the cushion but have'nt tried driving it like that yet. Perhaps will need to on track to give headroom for helmet!

Just had a look at my T350 and mine comes out and is just like a bucket seat.

i too have a 2002 tamora but the removable cushion is not on them...iput in a pair of t350 seats and now can remove cushion for more sideways support. but be warned t350 seats were definitely higher on the seat base than the old tamora ones...phil

Hi Bob do a search on here about this. From memory some clever so and so modified the cushion. Basically, opened the cushion, cut the foam and restiched the cover. This allowed him/her to sink a few inches deeper into the seat giving more lateral support.
