Don,
I have installed a pair of older Miata seats (with speakers in headrests)
in my TR4A using Uncle Jack's seat track adaptors. The track adaptors had
to be used a bit differently than for a TR6, for which they were developed.
I think son Tony and Joe Alexander may still offer the track adaptors.
They cost about $60.
Ironically, Uncle Jack sent me the adaptors, arriving on a Tuesday and two
days later he died in the racing accident. I feel kinda close to Jack even
though I never actually met him.
I had my seats completely recovered in leather and cloth to match the rest
of the interior. They look great and have provided much-needed relief for
my back and knees. I guess the only issue is some loss of access to the
rear seat, where we carry a lot of stuff while traveling. The real problem
there is the Surrey top rear backglass. Nevertheless, the seats tip forward
and are well worth the cost and effort for this old guy's achy body.
You'll love them!
Good luck
George Haynes
PS: I also installed a set of 2008 Miata seats in my 1963 Ford Econoline
van, but that's another story.
