Chainguards
New TAG (2008 CIK compliant)
Enclosed chain guards are now mandatory not only in the UK but throughout CIK racing from January 2008.
 The NEW TAG chain guard is made from tough Nylon and is suitable, for the Rotax Max and new KF engines. The plastic TAG guard is available in black and has a long bracket kit as standard which keeps the guard more rigidly located and helps move the fixings above the exhaust of the Max making access easier.
MSA Compliant
Since the 1st January 2005 an enclosed chain guard down to the lower surface of the axle has been mandatory in the UK .
Here are some of the benefits of using the Tillett Racing Seat Composite Chain Guard.
Much safer than plastic strips during normal operation and accidents.
Substantially reduces the amount of chain oil and grease that flicks over your kart and race suit.
 Comes complete with bracket set, which makes it easier to work on the kart as complete removal is simple and takes seconds.
Sturdy and rigid and does not wobble due to honeycomb core on mounting side.
Available to fit RHD, LHD, JICA engines and a new longer version for Rotax Max.
The guard is wide enough to allow the use of sprocket protectors.
Adjustable mid point to allow the sprocket to run centrally in the guard.
Easy to cut and modify to fit most engine / kart combinations

Honda GX160 Chain Guard
The New Tillett Honda guard mounts solidly to the engine and is wide enough to allow sprocket protectors.
The guard is made from lightweight composite and weighs only 324 grams including the bracket system.It is simply removed with two 6 mm nuts.

Rib Protection
|
 |
 The new Ribcage body support system comprises of two bold on, rigid yet comfortable pads that give extra upper body lateral support. Traditionally the only way to achieve this was to either use a seat with deepened sides, or to produce a wrap-around seat that curved around the body.
Ribcage panels avoid the damage caused by the hard edge of the seat, particularly if a driver is thrown forward or out of the kart. Also, kart seats are available in many different shapes and sizes but they are not depth or height adjustable, which means that the fit of the seat is nearly always a compromise.
A good tight fit around the chest is essential to help protect the ribs and hipbones from damage and by using Ribcage, you can choose the perfect height, depth and by using the Ribcage Spacer Kit, the width around the rib area is also adjustable. The Ribcage Spacer Kit contains 6 x M8 long seat bolt sets and 18 x 4mm nylon spacer washers.
Ribcage does not alter the properties of the original seat by changing the rigidity and therefore will only have a positive effect on the lap times. Due to their curved shape they restrict entry and therefore are more suitable for clutch driven karts than direct drive. If a seat with rib padding is to be used the use of a 40 mm diameter x 4 mm thick nylon spacer between the seat and Ribcage is recommended. This ensures that the bolts can be tightened sufficiently by crushing the foam completely.Therefore they are best used with uncovered T5, T8, T9, T10, T11 and T250. Fully covered T5 and T7 seats can be ordered without side foam to suit the Ribcage, though not on-line.

V Rib Pad
The suede covered V pads are made from firm foam and are used to size the driver to the seat correctly.
They are also useful when used with a hard shell rib protector like the P1. This is because they cover the bolt heads and stop them from damaging the race suit and protector.
With the addition of a little more self adhesive backed Velcro they can be moved if you need to use another chassis.

Suede VH Hip Pads
With the advent of thick rib protectors it has become necessary to pad out the hips for narrow hipped drivers.
These Tillett hip pads take up this gap using a firm foam and a durable suede outer layer. They fit using self adhesive Velcro so they can be re-used in multiple karts.
One size, available in black only. |

The main reason for using a composite floor tray is to save weight.
Aluminium floor trays weigh 1100 gm on average, by comparison a Tillett Composite floor tray can weigh as little as 330 gm.
Changing the floor tray to save weight must be done with careful consideration, as a change to the rigidity of the tray could have a noticeable effect on handling.
This is why we have developed three rigidities. Get the correct rigidity and it will help the handling andlower your lap times.
Our special manufacturing process that makes these trays gives two glossy, easy to clean surfaces and an almost perfect consolidation of the materials used.
Quality and looks are commonly used reasons for using the Carbon/Composite trays. The Carbon trays are made using a special chequered weave fibre which increases rigidity over normal twill weave carbon fibre and these are placed either side of a honeycomb centre to save weight.
The new Composite trays have beautifully coloured metal like composite fibres that enhance a kart’s appearance. The colours available are; Titanium, Silver, Gold, and Metallic Blue.
When ordering a floor tray, customers may need to supply a paper pattern with the outline of the shape, this depends on the popularity of the chassis. The split level trays for the latest models of Birel have to be made by hand which means that unlike other models the trays will only have one glossy side. |

T Board Seat Fitting Jig
Seat fitting is without doubt the most time consuming jobs on the kart. Accurately positioning a seat (which if 5 mm out, will be detectable in the lap times) is difficult when you take into account the varying shapes, sizes and driver seating preferences.
The T Board Seat Fitting Jig gives an accurate way of understanding where your seat is positioned in relation to the rear axle. The measurement point used on the rear of the seat allows different seating angles to be used, while keeping the centre of gravity in a similar position.
Deliberately measuring to one side of the spine recess takes into account differing spine depths in the many varied types of seats.

The seat position can be set, the three necessary dimensions recorded and then transferred into any other chassis as a starting point. Using the T Board, it is now possible to understand the optimum seat position of each type of kart, whilst also enabling you to easily mark and drill the seat fixing holes with greater accuracy. |

Rain Meister
Sometimes the only way to get grip from a cold, wet or slippery track surface is to put downward pressure on the 2 outside tyres.
On these occasions lifting the seat up will help to get a higher centre of gravity and therefore help attain extra grip.
The problem is that many small tweaks like this can’t be achieved fast enough when it rains.
The Rain Meister speeds up the task.
- Can Improve Handling In
Wet Or Cold Conditions
- Ultra Lightweight
- Will Not Absorb Water
- Fast, Secure Velcro Fixing
- Fits In Most Kart Seats

Tillett Nylon Washer Kit
 This new anti penetration Tillett nylon washer conforms to the new CIK and MSA seat mounting regulations.
(All seats must also comprise a metal or nylon reinforcement at their upper anchorage points between the seat supports and the seat.
Reinforcement must have a minimum thickness of 1.5 mm and a minimum surface of 20 sq. cm. All supports must be bolted or welded at each end.)
