The Cobra Roadster 7 for the Caterham, a narrow fit bucket seat. Part number COBROAD7-CAT.
Shaped around the bulkhead
A Caterham gives you very little room and the rear bulkhead is right behind you. This seat is cut to use the angle of that bulkhead rather than sit square against it, and every millimetre that recovers goes into legroom.
That is why a general purpose bucket rarely works in one of these. It is not that the seat is too wide, it is that the back of it wastes the space the bulkhead has already taken.
The measurements
750mm high, 460mm across the shoulders, 720mm front to back, on a 400mm base, at 7kg.
The 400mm base is the figure that matters. That is the width down at floor level, between the sills and clear of the transmission tunnel, and it is what gets this seat into cars where a normal one will not go. Standard sports seats have a base in the 500mm to 560mm range and simply foul the tunnel or the sill top rails.
Measure your own car at floor level between the sill and the tunnel, and compare it to 400mm. If it is close, send us the figure and we will check it against a seat before you order.
Harness holes are an option
Not fitted as standard, available at extra cost, and they cannot be added once the seat is trimmed. Most Caterhams end up with a harness at some point, so it is worth deciding now rather than buying twice.
Road and Track approved rather than FIA homologated. Base mount. Seat only.
