This is with the runners right forward.

No plans on an XL B8 yet as we have other fish to fry first but eventually there will be one. The B10 XL leg support really is not a problem. My 87 year old father can get in and out without help. If he can anyone can. I use the seat every day and it is bloody fantastic in that car. I may be...

This would be my ideal solution. I keep hoping someone comes to my rescue on that one. Electronics is not my forte so I need an expert to work it out and make something. I am driving around with a seat belt warning light and an SRS warning message. It's actually not annoying but needs solving...

It would be very difficult. The current OEM seat controls and motors are built into the frame so there is no way of using them. Honesty, I just did four hours in my seats and I don't know why you would want to cart around the weight of the motors. Comparing comfort, the fixed B10 XL's were...

There is a difference in the early Evora's with Recaro seats (335 mm I think) to the later ones with Sparco seats 345 mm but they are both different to the Emira (420 MM) although the width between the holes is the same. The later Evora's use the same runners as the later post 2017 Elise and...

I will try and find out the implications from Lotus themselves.

Yes, we can do matching trim colours. We would obviously have to buy a hide. Sometimes Alcantara/Dinamica suede can be tricky to match exactly in an auto grade quality but leather is usually easy.

Yes, the test ones are coming next week. I already fitted them successfully using a modified Elise/Exige bracket and our PTRO runners.

The Emira is something new. Not vastly different but they won't bolt straight in. The later Evora's with the Sparco seats can use our EBR 17 + brackets to fit our seats in the Evora as they are the same as the post 2017 Elise/Exige runners.

26 kg each. I weighed our B10's with the panels, brackets runners and seat belt receptor and it saves a total of 30 kg.

The picture below showing us testing the B5 has another inch under the Tillett seat that could be still used. The Emira seat is maxed out in this picture. The B6 and B10 shapes will go lower than the B5.

Yes that's me, unless you talk to my kids who are gradually making the old man redundant.

I have not got the final bracket price in yet as I am trying to simplify the bracket. This is fitted using modified EBS brackets on our PTRi runners but the B10 XL with the carbon/special panels matching your other trim and the bracket/runner set, a set will be in the region of £3,000 + VAT.

Each Emira seat is 26 kg. I just put a pair of my B10’s in with our runners and modified Elise brackets and all up with brackets, runners, custom panel set and the stock belt receptor they are 11 kg. 30 kg saved and way better support with no bad back after an hour.

After much worrying about the electrics I finally just went for it and put a pair of my B10 seats in it. Other than a few lights on the dash no issues. What a change, the car now feels more Lotus and less popping down the shops.

I did my test drive Monday and I loved the car, other than the seats. No surprise there as I always planned to fit my brand in. I was probably the only person to ever sit in the car that was happy the seats were the worse bit. The first thing I will do when it comes in January is change the...
