The B3.5 seat weighs only 2.1kg and has been made to allow fitment into some of the narrowest vehicles around. It holds the driver in a comfortable inclined racing position. The seat is derived from the B4 and features the same interior seating surface without the B4's backframe.The belt holes have been optimized to enable the use of a Hans device and allow a full racing harness to be used (5 or 6 point harnesses are recommended on an inclined seat). The seat is supplied with a removable Dinamica suede covered headrest pad as standard and can also be supplied with matching back and cushion panels at extra cost. The B3.5 is a thin flexible shell. To install this seat, it needs support with a framework or from bulkheads and roll bars. The recommended mounting points are shown below and Tillett suggests using their special fittings to attach to your fixing points. At least one fixing point must be at headrest level under the pad and two high up under the arms. Tillett also suggests creating two mounting points on the side at chest level.

Starting from a one-person operation in a small garage, it has grown into a proposed 22,000 square foot factory catering to multiple racing teams worldwide.
Tillett Racing Seats has always pushed itself in continuously improving its products by actively competing and testing it against top racing drivers. Using actual data, they incorporate these into their products and adapt to the needs of the drivers.
Having the company’s grassroots in kart racing, Steve Tillet, the company’s founder, made the first prototype of the Tillet seats out of his need.
During the ’70s, with the introduction of stickier tires for karting, it is common for racers to have ribbed bruises due to slipping and sliding in their seats. By using fabric from a used motor vehicle and attaching it on the seat, they were able to eliminate the injuries.
This, in turn, allowed them to attack the corners more aggressively compared to their competitors. It was noticed by other racers as well. It eventually led to them ordering the same seats for their race cars.
Tillet products never stop evolving. And this has allowed them to stay ahead of the competition.
It has become an essential part of some of the most successful race car drivers. This includes Michael Schumacher, Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Kimi Raikkonen, Jenson Button, Robert Kubica, and Lewis Hamilton, to name a few.
With multiple successes under its belt, you are sure to have the best racing seat available in the market. Tillett Racing also offers other racing accessories such as rib protectors. Visit Vivid Racing and check out what Tillett racing has to offer.
