Bob,

Excellent write-up as usual. Your pages are often invaluable.



Just in case anybody reading this wishes it wasn't so much trouble to mount
Miata seats in a TR-6, we fashioned a low-cost approach by using the existing
TR-6 seat rails and completely removing the Miata rails. We basically make
the
bottom of the Miata seat function like the TR seat with a 3 ft piece of
angle-iron cut into 4 pieces. The seats have two pivot points on the front,
still tilt forward as original. They do not 'latch' to prevent the tilt, like
mine never did anyway.  If anybody wants more details, just write me.



There are pictures and description at www.triumphowners.com/776, picture

"Miata Seats". We were lucky to find a pair of seats that didn't need to be
restored.
