There is also a last resort option. Steve Tillett can make a custom moulded rib protector that will almost certainly solve the problem. I was at the point of having to give up racing as every time I drove the kart, despite trying various seats and rib protectors, I'd damage the ribs again leaving me in pain for months. With this rib protector I don't get so much as a twinge as it spreads the load evenly across all my ribs.

You can't expect much change from Ł400 though - so it's well worth exhausting other options first. Often the problem is down to pressure being exerted on the weaker lower ribs. Try padding the seat up so that the pressure is on the strong ribs under your arms. When it comes to rib protectors, different ones suit different people - so see if you can borrow a few types so you can work out which is best for you.

If none of that works - give Steve a call!
