The B6 Race Car Seat
The updated B6 is a narrow lightweight seat suited to many track day cars. For 2022 the rear frame shape has been improved structurally and cosmetically and now matches the FIA approved B6 Screamer. A bottom mount point option and a lighter construction mean this standard B6 is not FIA approved. However, the new update increases the strength in the headrest area and is structurally more rigid than the previous B6.
The new belt hole surrounds have been updated to be resistant to being pushed off and the flatter inner profile intrudes less into the drivers hip area. The hole sizes are made to suit the requirements of a Hans device. The rolled outer edge along the leg support area can either be removed for a narrow 40 cm cockpit or left on to create a continuous rolled edge around the whole perimeter of the seat. The "edges on” version is designated the B6-44.
When ordered with the side mounts the seat can use all the bracket sets made for the B6 Screamer. With the "bottom mount” model, the TR1 or TR3 Tillett adjustment runners can be bolted directly underneath using the TK5 fitting kit. By using at least 40 mm of spacers under each M8 mounting point, the B6 can be bolted directly through the floor without runners. The Tillett Nylon spacers can be used for this purpose. The B6 is available in two front surface finishes, carbon/GRP and gloss black GRP. Both come as standard with a suede padded headrest. To reduce vibration, it also has the option of Dinamica® covered suede panels. The weight of a B6 is 4.5 kg or 5.5 kg with suede covered panels.
