Do we have a definitve list of the makes and models of aftermarket seats that will fit in the Chimaera?

I know it's been discussed in various threads over the years, but it would be good to have it one FAQ.

(If a friendly passing mod could set the FAQ flag on this thread then that would be great)

I'll start off with a list gleaned from a search on previous threads in this forum:

* Zertec Monaco seats - pricey and questionable availability due to the on-off nature of Zertec

* Cerbera seats - drop-in replacement but there are concerns that it raises the driving position slightly.

* Tuscan seats - reported to have been fitted to both a Griffith and Chimaera. Required new seat runners and new holes.

* Sparco race seats have been fitted, but nobody has ever quoted a model number or dimensions.

Anyone else have any contributions? It could be good to hear from someone who has found Sparco (etc.) seats that have fitted.

TVRs aren't the only cars with narrow cockpits, so presumably seats that will fit a Caterham (or other 7 variant) might fit too?
