The new B6 Screamer models are available!![]()
The new B6 Screamer is FIA approved to 8855-1999 and replaces the popular B6F and B6F XL.The belt holes are now positioned higher for taller drivers. The rear of the seat has a new design which is more compact to avoid roll bars and better looking. Importantly the weight is now 20% lighter than the B6F as this seat uses our brand new moulding system which creates seats of a superior strength. The Screamer can be used quite comfortably without any padding, meaning that you can achieve a lower driving position than most other seats on the market. The seat is ultra rigid which stops the harness and Hans device from coming loose during an accident. This rigidity coupled with the fact that the seat can run without covering, adds to driver feedback from the chassis and the lack of covering also works better in any harsh environment.

New Ultra low profile seat washer and bolt sets![]()
With todays hard shell rib protectors the instances of race suit damage are high especially if they do not have a protective layer like the P1. Therefore we have introduced these low profile seat bolt/washer combinations to give a flat surface to the seat without compromising the ability of the bolt head to twist in the washer. |

Announcing a new range of T11 kart seats with wider tops![]()
For someone with a wide chest and narrow hips it can be difficult finding a seat that fits. The T11 WT (Wide Top) range is larger across the chest dimension and takes away the gap down by the hips. The use of a hard rib protector like the Special Tillett Personalised rib protector or even the R4, can increase this dimension significantly and this is where the T11 WT range can be of real benefit. The T11 WT is available in all rigidities with a size range of S, Manetti, MS and ML with a XScd T5Rev WT size for the smaller drivers. |
The B6F is the first Tillett Seat to be FIA homologated![]()
Narrow, super rigid and 7 kg the B6 F is like no other FIA seat. The B6 F fits into a huge range of limited space cockpits which far exceeds any other FIA seats in the market. Now there is finally a serious race seat option for historic race cars where other seats simply will not fit. The B6 F not only has side mounting points but an upper mounting point and a headrest mounting point for ultimate strength and security. Made by injection and cut by robot every B6F has a guaranteed thickness and consistency of moulding that other makes cannot match. Covering is unnecessary on this seat but it is available as an extra cost option. |
