What Seat ???

pinki · 26 Oct 2003, 12:53 (Ref:763581)

I work for Tilletts and just out of curiosity would like to know what seat you have in your kart?

avsfan733 · 26 Oct 2003, 20:42 (Ref:763877)

custom...i molded and built it myself out of carbon fiber... I have three different thicknesses that i take, and have the ability to make extraswithin about a weke long timefram, its great

Mine is a T 10 ML with the Ribcage bits bolted on the top.
Pinki, tell Steve Tillet he needs to make a seat for girls. My girlfriend says so. Narrow at the bottom but much more so at the top.

Yeah, My mum couldn't fit her hips in my Tillett seat! lol Which unfortunately ment she had an excuse not to drive it

pinki · 27 Oct 2003, 19:28 (Ref:764934)

With regard to seats for the ladies, we do have a few moulds just for the ladies. What sizes are you looking for?

speedy king · 27 Oct 2003, 21:23 (Ref:765047)

Mum, how big is your backside.........

........Don't think she would ever drive my kart anyway!

pinki · 28 Oct 2003, 20:55 (Ref:766165)

My question was actually aimed at SuperlinerII but never mind

Superliner II · 29 Oct 2003, 20:30 (Ref:767351)

Pinki
Do you have a seat mould thats the same as the T10 ML on the bottom but much narrower on top?

Thanks

pinki · 30 Oct 2003, 19:03 (Ref:768354)

We may have something knocking around, I'll speak to Steve tomorrow for you. I don't make any of the glass seats, I do the carbon and kevlar work.

pinki · 30 Oct 2003, 19:04 (Ref:768355)

Though thinking about it you could always get an insert made for your T10, I take it this is so your girlfriend can use the seat as well.

A girl friend interested in karting!

WOW! Where did you get her?!

Superliner II · 31 Oct 2003, 12:19 (Ref:769076)

Speedy, My girlfriend is none other than Superbird who posts on this forum. It was her who got me into karting in the first place. She has been around it all her life because her family are all karting mad and have been racing for years.

Pinki, an insert would be ideal but it would need to be about 3" narrower on the top over all for her to be comfortable. I have had a go at putting foam in there but its not a good solution.

pinki · 31 Oct 2003, 18:10 (Ref:769440)

Let me talk to Steve on Monday, I'm sure there's a way to do it. Couldn't speak to him today as he's not been in

pinki · 3 Nov 2003, 18:15 (Ref:771864)

Superliner II

Spoke to Steve today and yes we can make an insert that narrow at the top for your seat. They will pad the sides out to the appropriate size for you.

Superliner II · 3 Nov 2003, 18:21 (Ref:771878)

Thats great Pinki. Thanks
I will get some proper measurements written down and we will be in contact with Tillett some time soon. How much do you think it will cost?

pinki · 3 Nov 2003, 18:30 (Ref:771893)

Ahhhh, now that's a good question, it would depend on what sort of mood the old man's in

Seriously, I'm not too sure as I couldn't even tell you how much a normal seat is as I only do the carbon and kevlar's.

Give him a ring and say you spoke to Keith that way he'll know you're the one I've been talking about.

Superliner II · 3 Nov 2003, 18:39 (Ref:771907)

Cheers Keith.

Sorry I didn't reply yesterday, had a bit of a fireworks party

Right the insert, you are looking at £60 for the insert and about £20 for foaming up, we would also need to know whether the insert needs to go down to your good ladies hips or not ???

Superliner II · 6 Nov 2003, 18:45 (Ref:775120)

Ok. I will get around to taking some measurements with her in it and what not in the next few days and contact Tillett's next week.

Thanks again

Laurie.

pinki · 6 Nov 2003, 18:49 (Ref:775124)

If you can spare the time it might be an idea to pop in and that way you can talk it over with Steve and actually see what you are getting, it may also be cheaper that way.

Just a thought.

Superliner II · 6 Nov 2003, 18:59 (Ref:775134)

Thats a good idea. We will try to get over that way sometime soon. Its hard to get time off work but we will do it. I may even be interested in getting a new seat for me too.
Cheers

I'm sure Steve will be able to sort you both out, you never know you might end up with a kevlar
