Dunno, but it would be pretty hard to go wrong with that style of seat would be my first thought...

Would be as comfy as all the rest with pads fitted, I have some cheaper fibreglass seats fitted other than having to use washers between the seat and the runner had no problems

Thing is there are grp seats and grp seats some flex and some don't..those that flex will make the car feel strange where those that don't make for a nicer safer drive....biased of course and why not because my daughter and her fiancee make damn fine grp seats.

Bit like £3 asda jeans and £50 levis......

I got a pair of these seats of eBay from this guy, got them cheaper as they were in Yellow and they were not selling. I find them very comfortable, they are not in the car yet but sat in them in the office for about 2 hours and were still comfortable. Picture of them:

I also have them , and find them to be very comfy and nice and supporting! cant go wrong!

I'm getting confused! Graeme - the ones you've just sold because they were cr*p, were they the ones kitbitsdirect sell on ebay rather than these which are (also on ebay) from kitpartsdirect ltd (ie GBS/Robin Hood)

The confusion over two different makers with very similar names might explain why some people say they're good and some people say they're utter sh*te with very little middle ground!

I'm sure the Triton and JK Composites ones are better but I can't afford them at the moment!

They are nothing to do with GBS/Robin Hood, two seperate companies

GBS are www.kitspares.co.uk

Just saying

This thread is nearly a year old - thats why it makes little sence!


D Beddows - 19/1/12 at 12:32 PM

Ahhhhhh, didn't spot that so kitsparesdirect = kitpartsdirect = best left then!?


scootz - 19/1/12 at 12:34 PM

I bought a pair a couple of years ago and they were pretty much identical to the ones being supplied by MK at the time. No idea if that's still the case???


jossey - 19/1/12 at 12:41 PM

went to hull to look at the seats at kitpartsdirect. They look good and have very little twist in the back of them which was surprising.

Only issue i found is getting hold of them on the phone if you need help or have an issue.

If they are a little flexi just make supports from metal and fibreglass i guess...

Kitbitsdirect are different - I beleive the owner has a history with GBSC, but is now seperate.

Buy through ebay with either people and you will be covered.
I bought my engine thom these - http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/kitpartsdirectltd?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1181
Who appear to be no longer trading, but was one of the above two!!


i_froloshki - 20/1/12 at 08:30 AM

i took one of these

GRP Black Bucket Seat Robin Hood Kit Car Race Rally Track *Single* *New Style* | eBay

I am happy with the comfort and the quality (not the best and perfect one, but absolutely acceptable). The only bad point is the delivery time and the service. I wait them for more than a month - "I was on a vacation and when i came back i saw that nobody was doing their job bla bla bla" For this price - it is perfect.
