what are the dimensions though?

If a narrow bucket seat is tight, then an ergo seat may have no chance :P

The same Demon Tweesk who refused to fit the Pole Positions I'd bought from them, as they said there wasn't enough headroom :P

The widest part of the PP ABE is the shoulders at 580mm, and the Ergomed has no issues there as the shoulders are about the narrowest part bar the headrest. However, the outside of the seat base looks to be 14mm wider than the ABE's 520mm and that's already extremely tight...and I can only move my seat a few inches forward from its rearmost position due to the side of the seat hitting the transmission tunnel.

These are the dimensions for the PP ABE...

ive sat in these, recent customer had them in an escort rs turbo.... these are actually supremely comfortable and really grip you in place... downside they were heavy ( i removed them to extract the carpet ) they were of high quality construction!

There's hitting the tranny tunnel and then there's squeezing against it so hard the seat physically won't move any more, 14mm isn't going to make the difference unless the seat is so tight to begin with it surely wouldn't get into the 'it fits' guide...?

I don't care about the weight Byron, it's not a track slag. I'd rather have a quality seat that is comfy and doesn't wreck my back, which is knackered enough... :lol:

No worries John, I'll be keeping it until I can fit it in something else anyway :)

Standard fit in quite a few cars and can be found for very reasonable money on ebay (I nearly bought these myself) - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125243894700 ... SwDApiTU~F
