i cant seem to get my bucket seat to fit properly because they keep hitting the roll cage there cobra clubman (orignal) ones, just wondering what bucket seat people are using with roll cages fitted and how well the seats fit

[Ouster]

I use Mambas, just like the Cobra Clubmans. They fit tight to the rear roll cage, they make a squaky noise sometimes due to them rubbing together. Have you got seat extenders brackets?

[Willcox]

no i dont have seat extender brackets also my main hoop is 45mm dia

Ive the same set up as you, no extended brackets either, i put the seat back just enough to miss the cage but after use the seat had worn out and the paint has come off the cage! i personally dont have a problem with this as its hidden because the seat does now touch and covers the wear!

[Flippy]

if this is a problem id recommend different seats. or sit closer to the wheel

think ill have a look out for some other seats because when i put them where i feel comfortable they aim towards the door and i dont really want to be sat on the p*ss otherwise the seats are going to be to close together

I have the same set up and they do fit but squeek if all the way back. Fortunately though I just fit in the seat without it touching.

I have a corbeau revolution seat and the fit is terrible to the cage,had a right game on mounting the seat up so I can get it in the right place without fouling too much on the cage and still being comfortable.Ended up moving the whole lot further into the centre of the car to get it right,still a bit of a compromise as I would like the rear of the seat slightly lower but the tunnel is in the way.

I had a mini with cobra clubmans in years ago with a cage and I just slid them back until they hit the cage,worked out as a nice position for me.

Cheers Ross.
