Seats?

[LuckysDad]

Anyone else find the seats too hard, too flat and completely unsupportive?
After a recent three hour drive my sciatic was so painful I had to go get one of those old man pillows to sit on.
I feel like I sit on top of the seat rather than in it.

Def want your opinion on these after long drives.. I really LOVE the white seats (like really love).. so going just black seats hurts my soul, but IF my lower back no longer hurts, might be worth it..

Thanks

I keep trying to persuade my son to do a set in white leather.

please do it!!! I really wanna see this.. Maybe I could just do the drivers side and leave the passenger side stock (not sure how I feel about that though looks wise)..

But I really need the foldable seat for the storage behind my seats so keeping the passenger side stock might work for that part..

I'd be interested in seeing how this looks too (in Tan).

They can be heated but would need wiring in. It would be supplied as we supply them to Caterham. It might not be able to be done using the Lotus controls though.
The wires go through the composite cavity and come out of the base. Because the holes go through the seat, the panels must be fitted at the factory. It's not really a retro fit job.
As for electric adjustment, that would make them as heavy as the originals. Of course I could design them using clockwork but I don't want to wind you up.

Just to clarify: I would like to see what a combination of the B10 and OEM seats would look like. Does anyone have a photo of an Emira with only the driver side seat replaced?
I don't think replacing both seats would make sense in my garage, where I need to get in and out of the car from the passenger side.

Removing factory seat and installing Tillet B10-tips and tricks

Hi folks. Just replaced my drivers seat with a Tillet B10 from Greg’s Race Parts and I love the lower seating position and better ergonomics of the Tillet. Some have asked for details of the install so I thought I would share them here. Factory seat removal: Slide the seat back far enough to...

Thanks! I can clearly see the difference in seat-bottom height.
