Mirrors, Side Windows and Seat Ideas/ Suppliers. Can anyone assist ?

I have a spare Caterham Tillett seat in my box room, looks narrow compared to my JKs, but just measured it at the thigh and shoulder widest points and it's 41cm or just under, so even that's too wide!

Rare as hen’s teeth now but worth a trawl for Richfield RX777 seats on FleaBay, etc. which is what I have in my narrow.

 

 

I found the Inatrim seats to be overly side bolstered for my retired torso, personally.

 

Whatever seats you decide on, sit in them before you commit!!!

Cheers. Inatrim looks good for selection, but as you say, would be a visit to try a few. Removeable head rests would work too. Can I ask how well the side screens work and still supplied by someone ?

That's a shame, I do like a Tillett seat, used them karting for decades.

Running without them (or doors) above 50 mph causes the well-known phenomenon of Westie Nose and an inability to breathe.  With them, the issue disappears and it’s quite comfortable, although you’ll still get blown about from behind as the air rushes in to fill the vacuum created.  Highly recommended.  AFAIK there’s no issue with getting them specifically for narrow cars as opposed to wide, they should still fit, but make sure the kit comes with the hinge halves!  The factory do them but you’ll probably find them somewhat* cheaper on FleaBay, etc.
