Two Auto Style Type BS6 fibreglass bucket seats (SS37Z-2), £488 the pair. These are the seats and sliders only: the side-mount frames are not included. If you need the complete hardware set, the BS6 bundle listing (BS6-Pair at £438.90) includes the frames and is the less expensive purchase overall. The SS37Z-2 is the right listing if you already have frames from a previous installation or are sourcing frames separately.
The BS6 is a fibreglass seat with an integrated head surround, black fabric trim, sized for under 6ft and 32 to 36-inch waist. The head surround is part of the shell, not a clip-on, and changes the seat profile noticeably. Check headroom before ordering. Side-mount fitting positions the driver lower than a base mount.
Sliders for both seats included. A vehicle-specific fitting adapter is also needed on top of frames and sliders. 4-point harness compatible. No FIA competition approval. At £244 each the cost is higher than the bundle per seat; only use this listing when you already have the frames.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Discover the Auto Style Type AK Reclining Sports Seat, and Auto Style Type Classic Bucket Seats Now Available to View In-Store. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers under 6ft in height with a 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
Is this seat FIA approved?
No, this is a road and track day seat rather than a homologated competition seat. For events that require an FIA seat, look at the FIA-approved shells in the range, and ask us if you are unsure what your series needs.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This is a side-mount seat: it hangs between side brackets, the motorsport-style stack with fine height and angle control. You will need the car-specific frame, and a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.
Does it work with harnesses and a HANS device?
The shell takes 4 point compatible. If you are planning the full seat, harness, and HANS setup, tell us the car and we will spec it end to end.
How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Fair question, because makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike in the car. We keep the ranges on display in the Nottingham showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and if you cannot get to us, call and describe your build, as the team sit in these seats every day. Our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.
