Mike,

It is all down to the width across the seat well - here are some really nice seats if you can accommodate 510mm

These are narrower and look good - cheap too.

The kitspares seats are about as good at they come at the low cost end but you would be wise to use some bonded seat pads as well.

Same question as Colin, Mike - what sort?

I actually have a 2nd Caterham Tillet seat from (I believe?) an R500 Superlight to match the drivers one in the Cossie Fury but being as I will be selling her I have not fitted it! They are awesome seats (but not cheap at about £454 each new  :o), you are welcome to have a look mate and see how it feels. You can even sit in the one on the Fury though it will be stationary in the garage only I'm afraid as she is laid up for the Winter. If you think you can fit it in your Tiger you can try it as long as I get it back to sell sometime!  ;D

You can buy very similar and much cheaper versions of it on ebay. The ASBO also has something very similar fitted. Although these type of seats look hard I have found they are in fact super comfy and you will fit in them a little better than I do! They are also very light and should reduce the Tiger's overall weight a little bit  8)

It is exactly the same as this one Mike..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Caterham-7-Tillett-Seat-Inc-Fixed-Base-/262280679892?hash=item3d112591d4:g:wggAAOSwKtVWt7fF
