Sylva Striker Seat Size

[THE AJP CHIMAERA]

Can anyone tell me the space in a sylva between the center tunnel and the side

I can measure tonight if no one answers before then ? Which measurements are you after as the space tapers quite a bit and iirc the drivers side is slightly more 'spacious' than the passengers ? I've got the Striker seats from here in mine if that helps with sizes ?

john do you find there is much more room each side of the seat or are they a neat fit I was looking at these seats today 350mm wide seems very narrow even for me

Richard , because the car side taper in quite a lot the seats are a snug fit at their front but have room to spare either side at their rear iyswim ? There's no room for a wider seat unless you are prepared to cut away the sides of a wider version at the front edge to make a seat that tapers as it goes forwards if that makes sense ? I'll measure up later and see how much room there is either side at the rear of the seat between the seat and chassis . These Striker seat are ok for me but I'm only 11 1/2 stone not sure I'd want to be much heavier and use them

I found a post I made on Locostbuilders a while back about my MK2 Striker:

I said:

The Strikers seating area is very oddly shaped! The sides taper in, but the tunnel tapers out and passenger and drivers sides are different sizes.

The widths at floor height at the rear of the cockpit are:

Driver: 385mm
Passenger: 430mm

The widths at a point 600mm in front of this, at floor height are:

Driver: 320mm
Passenger: 325mm

The widths at the level of the top of the tunnel are different, since the sides of the tunnel also taper from top to bottom.

At the rear of the car the widths at the top of tunnel height are:

Drivers: 430mm
Passenger 455mm

At a point 600mm forward of this the widths are:

Drivers: 380mm
Passenger: 345mm

The rear bulkhead tilts back at roughly 20 degrees from vertical.

Looks like a comprehensive set of dimensions there

Richard , shout if you need any others .
