What makes a Tillett different
Tillett started out making kart seats, and their car seats carry the same idea across. They are very light, rigid shells designed to be used with little or no padding, which gives the driver more of that direct feel from the chassis that you get in a kart.
Running with little padding also lets you sit lower in the car than in most other seats, which is why Tillett seats are popular with taller drivers who need to get their head further from the roof or the cage.
What we have changed
Every Tillett seat now has the option of a coloured logo, with a range of colours to choose from, so you can make the seat your own. Each listing has also been rewritten with the weight, the ideal use for the seat and its design features, so it is easier to compare one shell with another.
The bigger change is on the fitting side. Tillett make their own side mounts, shaped to fit particular Tillett seats, and sliding runner kits to let the seat move backwards and forwards. We have now bundled the correct side mounts and runners with the seats they are made for, so the seat and the fitting kit you buy together are known to work together.

The new Tillett B8
New for 2022 is the B8, available in GRP (fibreglass) and in a carbon and GRP version for drivers who want to save more weight. The B8 holds the driver at an angle that suits regular production sports cars, so it is aimed at the fast road car that also goes on track.
It uses Tillett's twin skin construction, which is what makes the shell rigid without a steel frame behind it. The B8 is a road and track seat and is not FIA homologated, so if your championship needs an approved seat, look at the B6 Screamer or the B7 instead.
The B6 Screamer
The B6 Screamer remains one of our best selling Tillett seats. Its belt holes sit higher for taller drivers, the back of the seat is a compact shape that helps it clear roll bars, and it can be used comfortably without padding, so you can sit lower than in most seats. It carries FIA 8855-1999 homologation.
Garreth’s advice with any Tillett is to tell us the car and your height and waist before ordering. Some shells come in more than one width, and getting that right matters more than anything else on the order.
What changed in the 2022 Tillett update?
Our Tillett listings got fuller information, a coloured logo option on the seats, and bundled side mounts and runners matched to each seat.
What is the Tillett B8?
