T8 Description
The T8 and T8 1/4 are the most popular seats made by Tillett Racing Seats. The shape of the T8 is very similar to that of the T7; both have the same 63 degree driving angle and the same excellent comfort and depth. The only difference between the two shapes is that the T8 is slightly smaller at the top and slightly bigger at the bottom. The T8 was the first kart seat to be made using the RTM production method. This system makes strong fibreglass mouldings with uniform quality and thickness, the process also speeds up production, keeping the T8 price below that of the handmade models. There are two rigidity options Standard and Soft.
The composite quality of the T8 is perfect and the two smooth sides keep a clean professional image throughout the life of the seat. The T8 can be ordered uncovered, with a 1/4 or 1/2 partial cover or a full cover. New for 2012 are the white and silver options. From January 2012 all covered seats will use the white, silver or black fibre. The clear seats will not be used for covered seats as the adhesive shows through the translucent part. All Soft T8 seats are white fibre. The uncovered clear T8 remains to provide a low cost seat option.
CHOOSING YOUR KART SEAT
When choosing your new Tillett seat, please take into consideration that it is often tempting to pick a seat that is too big.
In a new seat, it is wise to choose a tight fit, as this offers the best protection for the ribs and the body. When a seat is too loose, the chances of damaging the body are much higher. In the course of an accident, if you move towards the side of a seat, the impact is much greater than if your body is hard against the side of the seat. In the same way people wearing no seat belt in a car crash will damage themselves far more than one instantly restrained by a seat belt. The best way to work out your seat size is by using your waist size and weight.
