They have not been submitted yet for the German TUV test. There must be a way around it, so please speak to Komotec as I think they may have a solution.

What else am I going to do. It's still my baby.

This is their Emira.

Komotec have the seats in their Emira. Frank at FVH in Belgium has a good range to try in stock. There are other dealers with stock around Europe too so if you email customerservice@tillett.co.uk they can let you know the closest dealer to you. I am a bit out of the loop being retired but the...

There are two back shapes. The first one which includes B6, B7, C1 and the B10, is where your back is hammocked, which is the best way of explaining it. The lower back is curved which displaces the weight and lowers the head and shoulders. Then the straight backed seats like the B5, B8 and B9...

The B9 has similar low sides for a road belt and is the lightest seat we make.

I went in today so I took the picture.

I’m 5 ft 10 and shrinking. I have it set on the brackets one hole down from the top. We have models with lower headrests if this is an issue for you like the B6 Screamer and B7. Also the B8 and B9 have a straight back which sit you more upright.

You will find it much better with the panels. Using the seats raw in the road gives a bit too much feel. On a track uncovered is fine but I always recommend panels for the road.

Yes, it depends on how much you would need it lifted but for example, an inch would almost certainly need longer bolts and make sure they are good quality. Use 12.9 ones for the M8 rear bolts.

I guess it’s possible to spacer up the runners to lift it. The seat sits on a steel spacer at the front anyway. You could put an inch spacer under all four points. We can do thicker pad set. We would use firm 1 cm foam. More than a cm will start to loose the specially crafted shape. You will...

That’s a B5 carbon GRP seat with two blue suede stripes. I will get a photo because it is still in the showroom. I couldn’t find a picture of that one. Basically you can dream up what you want within reason. The most difficult thing is matching specific colours when the customer is not in the...

From personal experience they are better for the back. If your vertebrae don't move independently, they don't hurt. I have used the same principle for many years in our karting rib protectors. If one rib doesn't move in relation to the other you don't get rib pain. I don't have a bad back as...

This is the problem. Each country have their own road regulations and they are all different. It is very hard to justify placing these extra costs on a niche product. At least with the race seats we can use the FIA test which although expensive means they can be used anywhere. However, we have...

I hope I can put your mind at rest about our business. The current runners in the TEMIRA1 kit are made by the same people who make Ferrari's runners. These are rated to 1100kg. We are about to switch to a runner rated to 1200 kg. In both case these are European companies that manufacture seat...

The customer is always right. Don't worry, I am working on it. This problem occurs when your son is a young male version of your wife.

They can be heated but would need wiring in. It would be supplied as we supply them to Caterham. It might not be able to be done using the Lotus controls though. The wires go through the composite cavity and come out of the base. Because the holes go through the seat, the panels must be fitted...

Aluminium ones are technically better of course. But the cost is much higher than the glass filled nylon and we have never had a problem in 24 years with the Nylon. Just do them up tight to 35 Nm, and they are only to space the seat and bracket, don't put the nylon under the bolt head. I have...

I keep trying to persuade my son to do a set in white leather.

You will hear it here first. However, I’ve had the car nearly two years and never once missed the foldable bit. You just slide the seat forward. A case goes in the middle and because the seat is thin there is more space behind.

With the latest Emira kits we have special 14.9 strength 35 mm long bolts in them, which should be long enough to fit the standard B10 seat and all the required spacers. You need around 10 mm at each point on an XL and 20 mm for a standard size B10 on each mount point. Longer bolts of 40 or 50...

Not that I’m biased but I promise they are way more comfortable than the Exige Seats 😁

No sorry, I am still waiting on others. Electronics is not my bag. Don't worry, as soon as it gets it solved I will be telling people. Hopefully GRP is still working on it. Honestly, the notification lights on the dash are a thousand times less annoying than the marshmallow seats.

We could do them all leather with red stitching. But really we can do what people want within reason. We don't use Alcantara, Our Dinamica autograde suede material is what Merc and Audi use. I am told it's harder wearing and more colour fast.

We could always do something like this A White leather stripe and stitching, then it would not matter if the white was not perfect shade. We did look at getting the actual Bridge of Weir leather but it’s not a consistent supply. Here one minute gone the next, Therefore it’s hard to sell...

I don’t think we have done a white set of B10’s for the Emira yet. But I’m sure if you asked, we could do. We have done a couple of sets with the tan. Maybe have white stitching and a white back to the seat.

The seats being the way they are did me a favour. We have sold quite a few B10's to Emira owners. The back of the original seat is way too soft, so there is little support for the vertebrae. Especially if you sit upright, your lower spine wallows around in no mans land.

I could see you sliding about in the seat. I was thinking to myself. "There is a potential customer"

We have salt all over the roads in the UK too but not as much snow of course. I drove mine all through last winter and it was absolutely fine.

That should work. It’s close but I’ve not had any problems yet. It might be the handle bend. Please feel free to email me and we will look at it more closely. stevetillett@tillett.co.uk

My seat is not high. I can drop the head and shoulder height over 4 inches from the standard position. The one in the picture is set for me at 5ft 10. I'm still much lower than standard with the seat like this. This is Komotec's car with the same seat in.

I fitted them to both sides as two sets were sent to me. I just heard from the dealer that a number of error codes have been deleted but not all of them.

I have already contacted my office. Hopefully they will get to the bottom of it and get back to you quickly. If you do not get a satisfactory response please email me. stevetillett@tillett.co.uk

Is that my company or did you buy them from elsewhere? I will look into that for you if they were bought directly from us.

I don't think it happens at all unless the car is parked nose uphill when it rains or is washed. At least that was when my car was affected.
