$1,495.37

Tillett

Model #B4-40GRP


Shopper Award

The B4 seat weighs 4.9 kg and has been made to allow fitment into some of the narrowest vehicles around. Although light, it is still rigid due to its twin skin construction and it holds the driver in a reclined "formula-style" racing position. This version of the seat is made from GRP finished with black gelcoat on the seating surface and the edges of the seat have been taken off to make it only 40 cm (15 3/4 ') wide at the front of the seat.The belt holes in the B4 allow a full 5/6-point racing harness to be used, which is strongly recommended on any reclined seat such as this. The B4 seat is not generally compatible with OEM 3-point belts since it is very hard to feed the lap belt through the lap belt holes and click it into the OEM receptacle, much less the danger of "submarining" due to lacking a center strap.Furthering it's performance pedigree, the shoulder holes have been optimized to enable the use of a HANS device.The B4 comes complete with a Dinamica suede covered headrest. Matching padded cushion and back panels are available at extra cost. However, the shape is so comfortable covering is unnecessary, making it ideal for open topped sports cars. The B4 has six M8 mounting points; two are up high at chest level and give more mounting options to the chassis.The four lower mounting points are for bracket options including:- The TB1 which point inwards under the seat and keep a small footprint. They allow adjustment of the seat angle and mount directly either to a flat floor, or the TR1 runner system- The TB4 is a 30 mm taller version of the TB1- The new TBFIAO8 fully machined billet aluminum brackets, which point outwards from the seat. If adjustment is required TR2 runners can be used under these brackets.

Who is Tillett Racing Seats?

Starting from a one-person operation in a small garage, it has grown into a proposed 22,000 square foot factory catering to multiple racing teams worldwide. 

Tillett Racing Seats has always pushed itself in continuously improving its products by actively competing and testing it against top racing drivers. Using actual data, they incorporate these into their products and adapt to the needs of the drivers. 

Classic Innovators 

Having the company’s grassroots in kart racing, Steve Tillet, the company’s founder, made the first prototype of the Tillet seats out of his need. 

During the ’70s, with the introduction of stickier tires for karting, it is common for racers to have ribbed bruises due to slipping and sliding in their seats. By using fabric from a used motor vehicle and attaching it on the seat, they were able to eliminate the injuries. 

This, in turn, allowed them to attack the corners more aggressively compared to their competitors. It was noticed by other racers as well. It eventually led to them ordering the same seats for their race cars.

Partners with Top International Racing Teams 

Tillet products never stop evolving. And this has allowed them to stay ahead of the competition.  

It has become an essential part of some of the most successful race car drivers. This includes Michael Schumacher, Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Kimi Raikkonen, Jenson Button, Robert Kubica, and Lewis Hamilton, to name a few.
