I recently ordered a pair of the Tillett B5 seats from Smitty. They arrived via FedEx Friday afternoon and I installed them over the weekend. The seats are well constructed and have much more pronounced side bolsters than what I expected from seeing other photos. They should make a big difference for track and autocross events!
The installation really wasn't difficult, but took several trial fittings using different combinations of the spacing washers to get the offset and brackets lined up to match the car. I figured different seats would be tricky to fit, but now I have a greater appreciation for how tight the cockpit space is for seat hardware/mounting!
I can't say enough about Smitty's customer service and follow up advice. He sent photos and installation tips, and called two or three times during the ordering process to clarify questions and suggestions. I tried to take a couple photos that will show the side bolsters.
