Anyone using aftermarket seats?
TurboFource:
As I want to drive TCST instead of heading down the path of major rusty seat rebuilding, is anyone running aftermarket seats? If so, what are they and how are they?
The original seats may go on a shelf for future me to deal with.
Kendo:
I have never seen anyone here find one that fit and could slide all the way back (in case you are a taller sort).
TurboFource:
I am “Chapman” sized …. But would still like the seat to be able to slide all the way back….
EuropaTC:
The seats from the Elise might work but you'd have to make/modify custom seat runners to fit. They are narrow and basically just a fibreglass shell with minimal padding and, IMO, far too expensive for what they are ! I'd expect it would be cheaper to restore the Europa originals than buy s/h Elise seats.
I have seen similar shells sold as kit car/competition seats which would probably work, something like this;

Summit Racing seems to have a wide variety of seats available: https://www.summitracing.com/search?SortBy=BestKeywordMatch&SortOrder=Ascending&keyword=seats
