For sure I can give you the mounting instructions, but, I have never heard of a Tillet Racing Seat 316. It should have a shape which is T5 through T12...are there any other markings on the seat?

From the front rail where your heel would rest to the front edge of the seat on the left side 60cm, right side 61.5 cm. From the top of the axle to the top of the back of the seat 22cm with the axle in the down position. Bottom of the seat should be flush with the bottom of the frame rails. This is a good place to start and is a bit conservative because, agian, I do not know the shape of the seat.
Hope this helps

Which engine package are you using, what tires are you using, what is the condition of the track?
Thanks

I prefer the T11 or T12, but, they are hard to find in 1/4 pad. I always use a "shell" and then pad the seat with Freeline seat pads. They are very easy to work with and have a vlecro backing which makes them removeable. Anyway the measurements to start with are: 62cm from the front rail to the front edge of the seat on the left side, 63 right side. From the top of the axle to the top edge of the seat; 22cm with the axle in the down position, 21.3 with the axle in the up position. Bottom of the seat should be flush with the bottom of the frame rails.
Hope this helps.
