I used seats from a 90's Miata. I wanted the tall seat for safety. The
Miata was not a direct bolt in, I made some adapter plates from I think 2"
wide flat stock, and chopped off the mounting ears from the Miata seat tracks.
Not all that difficult if I did it with a chop saw, drill press, counter sink,
and taps. I liked the Miata seats because the size seemed to be the right
proportions for the car, not to large, the seat back also tapered up, just
seemed the dimensions were pretty good. I also got them at a self service
wrecking yard on 1/2 price day for about $40.00 for the pair (had to look a
bit to find fairly good seats-good covers, no rips etc.), and high quality
seat covers are readily available. My car is far from stock, so I did not
mind the change to tall bucket seats.

Tigers,
I'm wondering if anyone has used seats in their Tiger other than the
originals.
Some time ago, someone told me they had used the seats from a BMW M3. Does
anyone have a recommendation?
Also, I have a used Performer manifold (SBF) and a Carter Competition Series
600cfm carb I recently took off my Mk1A if anyone is interested in making me
an
offer.
