THE B3.5 - CAR SEAT

The B3.5 is a lightweight and narrow single skin car seat. The main reasons for choosing a B3.5 seat would be to fit a seat in a reduced space within the car and weight saving. The B3.5 has a narrow maximum width across the leg area of 33cm and weighs approximately 2.1kg.

This is a great option for cars where obstructions such as the gearbox, lead to a reduced space surrounding the legs. If a driver does not have this space issue but needs the reclined back position, we would recommend the dual skin high-side version that is the B4. This model may weigh slightly more at 3.9kg but it allows the driver to use base mounted car seat brackets that the B3.5 cannot.

The B3.5 must have bespoke fixing points made to connect the shell to the car, contacting the seat in specific areas. (See diagram within the images for more precise understanding)  

The very reclined B3.5 is mostly used in prototype sports cars, formula cars, or race car simulators. It is extremely lightweight, and positions the driver low into the chassis, making it a perfect option to simulate a Formula car.
