motordriveseats technical specifications and guides  

Here at motordrive we pride ourselves in offering not just a product 'off the shelf', but a seat that actually fits you, we achieve this by one of two methods, either:

  1. Customer visits the factory for a professional fitting.
  2. Seat is made from dimensions / weights supplied on a size chart

Our 'standard' range of seats consists of four models, within these we offer a wide scope of fitments and colours.

Please click an image below to view more details on each seat range.
