Peter William's book 'Guide to Purchase and Restoration of the
Spitfire and GT6' shows a picture of a Mk3 (I think from memory) with
pair of leather finished Daimler seats shoe-horned in. They look very
comfortable, but I think some serious mods would have been done to the
undersides to give the correct height. It just shows that given time,
ingenuity (and sometimes money) that just about anythings's possible

Listers,
Has anyone successfully fitted non-Spitfire seats in a Spitfire, that
they'll admit?
Any thoughts on fitting TR7 seats? Are they too tall/too short/less
comfortable/too narrow/too wide/???
I'm building up my '73 1500 as a street driver, and I'm tired of seeing
all the foam pieces come crumbling out of the seat bottom onto the
carpet. My budget doesn't have room for the seat foams ($100 per seat
for the foam bottom/back piece). Any used seats I get are likely to
have the same problem, if not now then very soon.
TIA
Jim
