Ahem, well spotted...looks like the forum software is truncating the auction identifier from the link. Current bid price is £335, which is a bargain - a pair went last week for £485, and new they are £600.

Try this instead. Or otherwise go into eBay and search for "Caterham Seats".

Seats are difficult to price. The tillets are popular because they are standard Academy spec so there are lots of new builds around who can save a couple of hundred sheets by buying second hand. Not sure about the R500 one, though.

The seat is free in most series, including Roadsports where I used to race. One of the front-runners this year just shoved a few bits of foam around him before each race!

I used a bag seat for 90% of my racing career but some people prefer the look of the Tillet and it seems that they are willing to pay for it...

Try baby oil, soap and hot water...and breath in

The entry is narrower than the base so its always a bit of a squeeze, but once you are in they do hold you nice and tight!
