TK7 TILLETT SEAT REINFORCMENT PLATE. FOR EXTRA STRENGTH AND A FAST CHANGE OF SEAT POSITION.

Product Details

The Tillett TK7 is an aluminium plate designed to reinforce the main seat stay positions.

This is sometimes necessary on flexible seats where no extra seat stays are to be used, preventing over flexing. They are also very useful if a hole has been drilled overlapping the one you wish to use. When fixed to the seat using pop rivets, the aluminium plate will stop the bolt from travelling up the slot.

The TK7 plates have been designed to make for a swift and simple kart seat adjustment. The plate can be riveted parallel to the floor, with the main seat stay bolt in the central hole, then the mechanic can quickly reset the seat in 1 cm increments forwards or backwards. If the seat needs raising for the wet, the lower holes can be used to quickly lift the seat 1.5 cm.

Features
1. Factors to consider

There are many factors to consider when choosing a new kart seat.
If you have had a seat in the past. Do you know the size and shape?

2. Choose a Shape

Shape does not make as much difference as the teams would have you believe, but they will be nervous of miss positioning the seat and may want you to use the shape they are used to fitting.

This is fine until the seat is not the right fit for you. An ill-fitting seat can cause a driver to damage their body or hang on the wheel, neither are good for ultimate performance.

Different shapes put in the chassis with the drivers back in exactly the same place, made with the same materials will pretty much handle the same.
That said a significant angle change of the back will alter the handling especially for bigger driver and this should be looked at separately.
