I have just fit a rollcage with door bars to Homer. The seats I have are too wide with the cage. Can anyone recommend a bucket seat that fits well with a cage? I dont`t have rear seats but I still would like access to the back. Answers on a postcard .....

Its very difficult to get decent aftermarket seats to fit with a cage , We built 2 minis in the last few years with cages . one was a GPN rally car which we used on a press program for MINI USA in France the other a customer track day car , our solution was to 'stagger' the seats with the passenger one lower and further back then the 'winged' seats did fit , the seats were the narrowest 'winged' buckets we could get ,

Do you remember the make of the seats Ger? I presume the winged seats give better protection?
