Instant weight loss and no strict diet with Tillett Seats!

These are looking like very nice seats and Lotus recently made them even more appealing. I was planning on ordering Alcantara seats in a Base Emira. However, after loooking at the Base price list and seeing that Lotus is asking $2,500.00 USD for their Alcantara seats, I'd rather put that money toward Tillett's.

If I had to spec from a base model, 100% that would be how I'd configure.

Who makes this? VDK just looks like they sell cars.

They custom fabric this in house. And made a JIG to reproduce them. They are master crafters! Just send them an email.

Steve, Have you resolved the warning lights for the airbag? Is there a plug and play solution yet?

I have fitted the GRP resistor plugs.

GRP Emira Seat Bypass Kits

Our plug and play bypass kit allows you to install an aftermarket/race seat such as our awesome Tillett B10's without causing any warning lights or messages on the dash. When you install a seat on the drivers side you will be left with an error code for the seat airbag as well as the seat belt...

The car is currently in Bell & Covill having some other work done and I have asked them to clear the air bag fault light down, then we will then see if they work. I have had this sign up for over a year. I don't even notice it now but it would be good to get it out of the way. I drove the courtesy car back five minutes ago and after my spine wallowing around in no mans land for an hour, I can confidently assure you that a small notification on the dash is a small price to pay.

Received a pair of seats today, and my first impression is.... Can't wait to put them on but can't, as only one runner set is included. Let's hope they'll resolve this soon enough.

Is that my company or did you buy them from elsewhere? I will look into that for you if they were bought directly from us.

It is from Tillett directly . I have already contacted CS but obviously any additional nudges would be highly appreciated.

Thanks Steve!

The resistor from GRP is only for the drivers side, correct? I don’t believe they have released the passenger side bypass kit.

I have already contacted my office.
Hopefully they will get to the bottom of it and get back to you quickly.
If you do not get a satisfactory response please email me.

Update: They found where the runner was hiding and it's on the way to me now. Pretty impressive customer service I must say.

I fitted them to both sides as two sets were sent to me. I just heard from the dealer that a number of error codes have been deleted but not all of them.

Installation log: Stuck. Just when I thought I was 99% done, I realized that I couldn't engage the cross bar to adjust the seat position. Apparently the cross bar seems to be too big and interferes with part of the bracket.

Did you install the cross frame onto the bracket before going into the car?

That should work. It’s close but I’ve not had any problems yet. It might be the handle bend.
Please feel free to email me and we will look at it more closely.

Yes I did.

 

[Blackthought_]

Yes I did.

Hmm is you’re installed like this?

 

[hal]

Yes, but my cross bar is wider (or the bracket narrower) than yours. I ended up cutting 1.5 cm off the ends of the cross bar to make it work.

You can see the scratch from before the cut.

Vdk - Van Der Kooi Sportscars provides the bar for 4/6 point harnesses - fitted it to my Emira:

Awesome! Is there a link for the harness bar? I need one. Or better yet a half cage.
