cockerchumps Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I have an 89 se thin bodied, the seats currently fitted are a bit tight. Are all buckets a standard width? Or are there narrower variants available? Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil. S Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 There isn't much that will fit in a narrow body, as the max width is 39cm. Intatrim do some nice narrow seats (look here) Or if you wanted something a bit more minimal check out Playskool's or Triton's race seats.

Blatman Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 IMHO, the Westfield race seats are just about the best, equal with the Plays Kool/Fluke R500 alikes. I have tried the Intatrim Ranger and the Cobra Roadster and hated them both... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I would concur with Mr B Perhaps for road use the Westfield ones may be slightly more comfortable with their padding and both the Fluke / Plays Kool carbon ones are far too nice to cover with padding The other seats are fine and o.k but tend to have deeper / thicker bases........ which if you're short is fine otherwise if taller than average can lead you looking over the top of windscreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakeya Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Just fitted the Westy padded race seats to my Narrow bodied car using the westy supplied non-adjustable mounting kit. They are a tight fit but they do go in, they are very comfortable indeed & offer great support & looks. when measured the westy race seats are actually 410mm wide at the front but i have my alli panels fitted to the outside on the chassis which gives the extra bit of space:) Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy666 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 when measured the westy race seats are actually 410mm wide at the front but i have my alli panels fitted to the outside on the chassis which gives the extra bit of space:) ive just done this too but have the inner panels fitted. Had to 'massage' the panel nearest the tub slightly where the fixings went into the frame to give enough clearance for tightening (massage=smacked it with a hammer a few times to indent in the relevant spots! ) WF seat's quite accomodating in the rearend dept. ive got a 36 waist and the to match and theres plenty of room in there whereas if you go for something like a cobra seat the padded leg section pushes into ya and wud become quite annoying fairly quickly id imagine.

blakeya Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 As Westy666 stated. I found the same with the cobra roadster7's that i had. The seat base bolster was indeed very uncomfortable after longer stint behind the wheel. Without making things to personal, I have a 38" waist with the butt to match & weigh in at 195lb & still find the westy padded race seat in my narrow, very comforatble.
