Seats FIA Approved?
What seat are you using and do you recommend it? I'm building a Ford Ka Hill Climber and need a decent adjustable Seat that's not too heavy and reasonably priced. Suggestions guys?

I thought that the FIA approved seats can only be "fixed" and only adjustable by moving it about with the floor brackets ? however I'm probably wrong and someone with a blue book will let you know.
Normally if there is more than one driver the seat is fixed for the tallest and the others have to use a bolster at the change over. Obviously if it is within your regs that actually allow it to be adjustable then fair enough and you could probably pick one up second hand in good nick as most aren't used that much. |

Hill Climbs here are a bit more relaxed here in Oz, hence Runners can be used. Circuit guys here have to fix their seats.

Runners can be used if they are AS spec in (upto) National events
When you say adjustable above did you mean adjustable back though? (Cause that isn't allowed in races, only sprints) If you want a fixed back I would suggest Velo as the only local manufacturer of FIA seats. |
