[6pack] Alternate Seats for TR6 question

[triumph at 2simpleusa.com]

Thanks.  Someone on the list pointed me to the section in "Improve your TR6" that addresses the seats question .... must have skimmed over that section when I last looked.  Makes the process of fitting the Miata seats easy.  Also, have heard that Fiero seats can be persuaded to fit ... haven't heard of any other foreign seats being used yet.

By the way, were your seats black leather ... I haven't found any, only the tan leather ones!
