Just for a moment there....

I thought you'd gone mad and started making fibreglass hats .





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

That seat on the right looks like it might even take my fat arse. How much ?

I fit in that one comfortably. I'm 6'6",18 stone and not skinny.Without telling you all of my vital statistics I've got a 36" waist and it wasn't too tight a fit.
As for how much,er I can't remember and I'm feeling to idle to look for it on Ebay.
No doubt the mad little beggar that makes them will pop up soon.

I would post a picture of the wife in one of the wider seats but she won't be best pleased.....She is 5ft nowt and to say it looks like one of those kids safety seats with her parked in it is a bit of an understatement...

Forgot to say they weigh 5kgs, bit heavier than the others but then they are bigger.

ZZrbloke,
If the ones Mike had are a tad tight for you then the ones on the right will suit you, as they are wider inside everywhere but still fit into a Locost...spooky !!!!..430max width(but this is on the rolled edge and could if need be, be trimmed down)

Hey Mark,

Looking like a real nice range of seats for loads of applications!

I'm tempted by the roll edged seats. Any chance you're bringing any down to Exeter? I'll be popping down there to meet Marc to exchange some bits, any chance I could sit my bum in a seat or two?

Thanks,

Chris.

Chris,

Yes I'm going to Exeter although only as a nosey parker ...will take an example of what i can squeeze in the car.
I think from the feedback I'm getting that the wider seat was worth the effort.

Cheers
Mark

If there's any chance you could bring a roll edged seat for my bum? If you could fit it in?

If not, no worries I'm sure I can find someone localish with your seats in their car!

Is there any difference in 'seating capacity' (ie. inner dimensions) between the roll edged seat and the taller sided smoothy?

Thanks,

Chris.

Todge,
No the narrow seats are the same width inside just one has high sides the other low....i think the lower ones are more comfortable.
I will have one of each with me

Cheers
Mark

Do you know which ones would fit an IRS Striker? I have no idea how this compares in size to a book chassis and it's too cold to go out side and measure it!

Narrow ones measure 390mm at widest point if that helps as i don't have a clue how wide a Striker is compared to a Locost.

390mm sounds about right. I will check tomorrow.

Thanks

Ben,
If it's really tight then maybe the low sided ones would help make life easier with fitting the belts. The rolled edges can be trimmed back if needed.
Cheers
