Firm support for driver's seat (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

settee

'seat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'firm support for driver's' is the wordplay.
'firm' becomes 'set' (I've seen this before).
'support for driver' becomes 'tee' (driver is a type of golf club).
'set'+'tee'='SETTEE'

(Other definitions for settee that I've seen before include "Long upholstered seat with a back" , "Item of furniture" , "Chesterfield" , "Small sofa" , "chair" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
