Do We Part-Exchange Seats? Why We Don’t Accept Used Seats
We do not part-exchange or buy used seats. Here is why: a seat’s history cannot be checked, damage is not always visible, and a seat is safety equipment.

Every day, we receive detailed questions from customers looking for clarity on product fitment, compatibility, regulations, and real-world use , and this section is where we answer them all. From “Can I wrap my helmet visor?” to “What size bolts do bucket seats use?” we take the time to respond with accurate, experience-based answers you can trust. These articles are written by our in-house experts and based on real conversations we’ve had in-store, via email, and across social platforms. If you’ve ever searched for straightforward, no-nonsense guidance about motorsport safety gear, seats, harnesses, or accessories, chances are you’ll find it here. This growing knowledge base is built to support enthusiasts at every level, whether you’re prepping your first track car or racing competitively under FIA regulations. Your questions fuel this content, and we’re always adding more.

Which bucket seats fit the Cobra side mounts for the Mini R53 and R56? Cobra’s compatibility table, our showroom measurements, and the stripped out car rule to know before ordering.

The Cobra Monaco Pro will not base mount to an OMP sub-frame: its bolt points are 291mm across and OMP frames are made for 345mm. Side mounts are the answer. Here is how.

Can you fit a harness to a retro or classic bucket seat with no belt guides? Yes, with a 3 or 4 point road harness and careful routing. How we set it up, the risks and the belts we recommend.

Our recommended road legal 4 point harness for an MEV Exocet: the TRS Clubman clip in 4 point, with notes on mounting to the harness bar and clip in versus bolt in harnesses.

Can you use a harness with a standard road car seat? Why most factory seats are unsuitable, when a factory sports seat can work, and the Schroth QuickFit harnesses made for factory seats.

The difference between road and FIA race harness webbing, why road harnesses cannot be used in competition, and the Schroth ASM range for an OEM look with more support.

Sparco R333 sitting you too high? We measured it against the Corbeau RRS, which sat 5cm lower at the rear, and explain the Corbeau RRS and SVR options for a lower reclining seat.

Too tall for the Cobra Monaco Pro in a Mazda MX-5? Our measurements show why a fibreglass seat sits lower, and the Sparco seats and Cybul mounts we suggest for tall drivers.
