Picking up on this thought has anyone changed their seats for something else?

I find my 3R seats uncomfortable as I have a big bum, so its either diet or change the seats.

I have changed mine to m400 seats (yes they do fit.)

[Biggriff]

Oh well that's the route then.

The factory have just confirmed they will fit.

Will pop in Kerridges just to check.

Thanks Alex

One point to note, is that you have to use your subframe. not the M400 ones.. So if you are buying the seats, dont waste your money getting new subframes.
Also you will need to raise the front with some spacers ( or washers) to get the correct seat angle.

Did you find them much better?

I havnt driven the car with them installed yet, however I have one of each type of seat sitting in the house, the M400 seat offers more support and a bit more padding.

However if you are a "too many pies" build they might feel a bit tight.

I am 6' and 14 stone, and I think they are a big improvement.

I find the M400 seats much comfier than what was in my previous tvr but i've never sat in a 3r, however the do look less supportive.

They look like Momo Corse seats. Why the big deal getting them to fit (although they do look tight)?

[art411y]

have changed my seats to sparco milano 2 recliners.and believe me it isnt easy to get them to sit right.pics of seats

[rsnoble]

being tall in guessing that the seat sits higher that normal, so id have probs with head room?

[hollowpockets]

Arty that a standard steering wheel? from that angle it looks different.

i had them recovered in the leather shown and had the template of the momo badge already so used that instead of paying extra for making a sparco template.i had to delete one of the reclining adjusters to get them in, then pull the top wings in to stop them hitting the side of the car.chopped 6inches off the top and welded bar back so it misses the roof.make height adjustable alloy mounts x4 to lift the seat at the front for the correct angle.remove the bottom seat sponge and replace with stiffer thinner material.make and weld a lower base to bring the height of the seat down

without the mods then yes ,if you are over 4ft 10 then its to high.with the mods it sits exactly the same as original but alot heavier
