Finally got round to taking some shots of my new seat and cage install. Pics are a bit gloomy as it was overcast but you get the gist.


The Tillet B5 seat is the perfect solution for our larger gentlemen as it gives you SUCH a low seating position you have a ton of headroom. Even with the cage.

I've got the seat set to the furthest forward position AND the highest notch and I'm still not able to see completely over the wheel (or reach the pedals as well as I'd like :lol:)

Still the nicest seat I've tried but still can't convince myself that I'd still think so, at the end of the drive to Le Mans. :unsure:

Looking good. What sort of stickerage have you got to put on there for Time Attack?

It needs the insides of the lights doing black in my opinion as the sliver dont look right, but other then that its stunning.

The Tillet seat is 100% better than th JK one I had! Really solid with NO flex! Not as pretty though.


love your omp wheel setup thumbsup


Sweet aint it!!! Feels much nicer!

Loads of series sponsors that I have to accomodate, and a fair few home grown sponsors too. You wont see the paint :lol: EJM got in first, but I will probably have to take them off and put the Time Attack ones on first.

As for the seat. I'm not worried about comfort on the way to Le Mans this year! I've got climate control, 6 speaker amplified stereo, and a Brian James Trailer :lol: The Tillet is comfy though!! Also as it's got PROPER fixed subframes I've been able to position my lap straps across my lap unlike in a VX where we use the seatbelf positions which are too close to your ass. Absolutely NO chance of submarining.

Love the seat and the rear diffuser with the spacers on. :wub: Do you think Fab could see over the bottom of the wheel? :o

Steve


I'm about the same height as Fab so can't laugh too much.

Looking good Jim all ready for racing ;)


All set (nearly). Got a few jobs to do ahead of racing (come to Wales :lol: ). You coming along to any stages as a mechanic...? Jump in Joe's love wagon and come along :)

Maybe it'd look better but it'd take too long! Got loads to do!

Jimmy, the car looks stunning. And good to see my old cage getting put to good use! It looks a really neat install. Mine is all but back to standard again, but I'm working on a plan to keep it through the summer, so might get down to the National yet.

I disagree - these wings are the only ones that look any good on a VX
