This was an optional seat for all Caterhams until 1990. The headrest was added at some point after 1986 and has part number 77657. Headrests won’t work with the FIA rollbar of the era, if you have that fitted.

Wouldn't that depend on how far forward you adjusted the seat?  I move the seat well-forward on both my Caterham cars.

@pethier You’re probably right. All the way forward with the lower (80’s-90’s) style headrest will probably fit. I don’t think the 90’s-00’s taller headrest will no matter what you do. Good point… thanks for mentioning.

Hey, I have short legs.

@wddfourI see this post is still active / you're still looking for seats. I have a set of OEM (#77670) cloth seats w/ runners and adjustable headrests from my 2008/9 Roadsport S3 Duratec you're welcome to. They are in good/fair condition and quite comfortable, the cloth cover (black w/ yellow piping) is good but the inner foam is disintegrating w/ age requiring constant vacuuming of the degraded foam pieces and particles. They could be "refreshed" by a good auto upholstery shop or used as is. I removed them to install new leather seats of the same design. FWIW the seats / headrests fit w/ the roll bar w/ cross braces. Pickup preferred as shipping is problematic. PM me if interested.

Cheers! Steve

@Razomatic@mccaskslThank you for the posts! To answer your questions, I have been looking for more traditional seats for a while. Less interested in the “racer” hard shells. Have been watching the boards for a while and haven’t seen any used seats come up. Steve’s seats are the style that would be my first choice, so maybe we can work something out. Hope everyone has a great day!
