    Roadster Seat Dimensions

    Has anyone got a spare 5 minutes and a tape measure?

    I'm thinking of using black leather roadster seats in the TVR but its a snug fit and would rather not splurge the cash if they dont fit...

    I need to know base width, total length, total height and seat height?

    Also, anyone selling them?

    Shall get the tape measure out tonight if no-one else beats me to it. You could also consider celica seats (mk3 peeps use them as an uprgade)
    I hate all southerners. As a point of reference, I'm stood at the north pole.

    Actually, what is the widest part of the celica seat? Side bolsters?

    I think the widest part is where the seat belt bit is and the back adjustment handle, at the connection in-between the bottom of the upright and the back of the bum part of the seat. Although looking at pictures the bolsters could be the same width.

    Ah, see the TVR is bloody tight around there. The centre console and door cards intrude quite a bit..
