This is the B6 you buy when the scrutineer is going to look. The Screamer is homologated to FIA 8855-1999, and both edge configurations are homologated, so cutting the rolled edges down to 40cm does not cost you the approval. That catches people out on other brands.
It weighs 5.8kg to 6.1kg, noticeably more than the Road and Track B6 at 4.5kg to 5.1kg. The extra is the homologated construction. If you want FIA approval and you want it light, that is the B7 at 3.8kg, though you will pay roughly three times as much for the privilege.
Widths are 44cm with the rolled edges on and 40cm with them cut off. Black gloss GRP. Sculpted to hold you without getting in the way of the wheel, and it sits you lower than most seats in its class, which matters if you are tall and running a cage.
It is 30 degree HANS compatible and Tillett recommend a five or six point harness with it. Side mounted, seat only.
The thing to watch with any FIA seat is the date. An 8855-1999 seat has a life and scrutineers do check, so tell us what you compete in and when, and we will confirm what you are getting is in date for the season you are planning. There is no point buying a homologated shell that runs out on you halfway through the year. Part number B6S-44GRP.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Tillett B6 Screamer Seat On Display In-Store. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
Send us your height and waist size and we will confirm the fit. The paper dimensions only tell half the story, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so you get the honest answer rather than a guess from a chart.
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 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 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.
Tillett seats are custom-made to order
These carbon seats are handcrafted in the UK for each order. We do not stock or display them in the showroom, so everything is a special order placed with Tillett when you buy.
Lead times depend on the model and the options you choose, so ring us before ordering if you are working to a date.
