gundersen Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 The seat is sold as "Good news for the larger racing drivers.", which fits me perfectly...at least the large part, and I got the SV to prove it! As far as I can measure it should just fit. The SV is 44cm across at the smallest part just by the gear stick, and the seat is reported to be 44cm in the widest part. Anyone tried it? or can recommend another (cheaper) type of tillett that will fit a large'ish person? I tried a standard Caterham tillet in an S3, but could just barely fit.

gundersen Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 One day and 160+ views and this is the advice I get? I could have gotten that from the misses much quicker 😬 Seriously though, I can't be the only 110kg person driving a Caterham and wanting a tillett?

myothercarsa2cv Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I'm only 76kg so can't advise on sizing... I'm pretty sure others have used the B6 in an SV or CSR previously. In fact, the CSR Tillett may actually be a B1, which is 44.5cm wide, so, assuming the CSR and SV are the same dimensions, the B6 should fit nicely. Whether you'll fit in it (given that 3cm of the width is just a rolled edge and with standard seats you get that extra width), is another matter. I'm sure there will be someone with one fitted somewhere! As for alternatives... The lower sides of the CSR / B1 Tillett might afford a little more room if you need the full width of the cockpit. Playskool (or something like that) made a similar GRP seat, but I don't think they did a larger version. Other than that, you're on to bag seats.

Simon.Rogers1 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 What about the MOG Seat. Very comfortable and 3 widths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myothercarsa2cv Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Ah forgot about Mog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundersen Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks guys, I had totally forgotten about MOG. I was planning to give Simon at meteor motorsport a call anyway so I will definitely ask him about the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Or if you are on a budget here they are 430mm wide so it should fit easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
