B4

The Carbon/GRP B4 seat weighs only 4 kg and has been made to allow fitment into some of the narrowest vehicles around. Although light it is still rigid due to its twin skin construction and it holds the driver in a comfortable inclined racing position. The belt holes have been optimised to enable the use of a Hans device. The belt holes in the B4 allow a full racing harness to be used (A 5 or 6 point is recommended on an inclined seat).

Soft padded panels covered in Dinamica ® suede are available at extra cost. However, covering is unnecessary making it ideal for open topped sports cars. The side mounted B4 has optional aluminium brackets for mounting to runners or directly to the floor.  You have the choice to order a 40 or 42 cm front. The two specifications remain the same size internally, the 40 cm version is made to allow fitment between the gearbox tunnel and the door sill. A 40 cm front will fit a Caterham, Westfield and most other similar vehicles. With the 42 cm version the rolled edge is left on giving a more aesthetically pleasing line to the edge of the seat, therefore if you have the room go for this model.

B5

The new rigid Carbon/GRP B5 seat weighs from 5.7 to 6.7 kg and has been designed especially to suit the Lotus Elise / Exige.

The seat angle is a regular saloon car angle. The small narrow size of the B5 means that many other vehicle applications are possible with this seat.

The B5 sits the driver very low in the car which reduces the likelihood of hitting the crash helmet on the roll cage. This benefits the taller driver who may have problems in other seats and also helps lower the centre of gravity. The side profile developed from years of manufacturing kart racing seats gives excellent support and leaves the shoulders free to help steer the car unhindered. Although the seat is small it can fit a surprisingly large range of driver sizes and the seat has been designed to be compatible with the Hans device. The B5 is also available in a black GRP version.

To give that extra bit of comfort, versions of the B5 are available with Dinamica ® covered soft padded suede panels.
