Low back seats in a Fury

Postby pigeondave » Thu Aug 28, 2014 10:25 am

Hi all,

What are my options for (wide as poss) half height seats in the Fury.
Id like half height ones as i use the boot bit as storage.

I need to be low in the car so it would need to be bolted directly to the floor, and as far back as poss as im 6'2"

Do people use tillett cart seats? does anyone know if JK composites do half height seats.

What fits?

Thanks

Tillett Kart seats and a headrest would be the best bet

W1 or W3 car seat with a 40cm front

I'd give them a ring and have a trip out to Sittingbourne to see.

I'm using Tillett seats. These are the largest I could find that would fit in a Fury.

No regrets as they provide an amazing connection to the car and are extremely comfortable. Full height seats would be much safer though.

Rob,

I see that you ordered another W2 for the passenger seat. How did this one fit, as in my car the passenger seat well is narrower.

Also my current seats fit behind the diagonal brace that comes from the roll hoop i need them pushed back as far as possible, would this be possible with the W2's is your diagonal brace in a standard position? as i see that your seat is infront of the brace

I managed to get both seats to fit without mods but they did initially send me a slightly different versions with deeper rolled edges that would not fit. My drivers seat is actually on the Tillett seat runners and can move about 10cm forwards/backwards.

I put the seats as far back as they could go. It gets narrower as you go back in the car. There is storage space behind the seats about 10cm deep. I can't see that they would go much further back.
