A pair of OMP TR-S Legend competition seats. Part number HA/775/N-X2.
The Legend is the homologated seat that does not look homologated, and in a classic or a historic car that is the whole point. Most FIA seats announce themselves from across a paddock. This one carries FIA 8855-1999 in a shape and trim that suit an older interior.
The seats
Tubular steel frame, fixed back, black, no head support wings, four and six point harness compatible.
OMP size them for drivers under six feet across a 28 to 36 inch waist, which is narrower than the TRS-E and reflects the period shape. If you are broader than that, tell us and we will point you at something with more room.
Mounting
Base mount or side mount, which is a real advantage in an older car where the floor and the tunnel do not leave room for side mounts and where you would rather not cut anything into a shell that is worth money.
Seats only. You need vehicle specific sub-frames, and mounts if you side mount them. Tell us the car.
Keep the originals
If the car is worth anything, put the standard seats and their fixings somewhere dry. A direct fit frame is reversible and they will matter at sale time.
Ask us for the manufacture dates on current stock.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers under 6ft in height with a 28in to 32in or 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 it FIA approved, and for how long?
Yes, it carries FIA 8855-1999 homologation. Every FIA seat has a not-valid-after year printed on its homologation label, and that label date is what a scrutineer checks, so look at the label on the seat you receive and check it against your championship regulations. Buying new means you get the freshest label the maker currently produces.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This seat takes both base and side mounting, so the fitting stack depends on which route you pick for your car. 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 and 6 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.
