John, I can't help you with any spare seats of my own, but any 1969-on
Spitfire seats should bolt in. I'll assume what you have right now are
the earlier "buckets" from a Spitfire 4, Mk. 2 or early Mk. 3. The floor
pan was changed (at least by 1969, perhaps for all Mk. 3 Spits) to
accommodate the wider seats for "Federal" cars as well as the narrower
ones. Later on, I think they changed the floor pan again, using only the
wider mounts.
