[Fot] Miata Seat Conversion - airbags??

[Jim]

Uh, Scott.. how are you planning to trigger the airbag(s)?  Button on the
shift lever, aka 007?

I understand the concern, I drive an original Mini Cooper (997cc) in daily
traffic in Dallas.  55hp on it's BEST day.  Forget bolting away from danger.


Cheers,

As long as we're on the topic of using these more modern seats, has anyone
considered using a seat with a side-impact airbag/curtain?

I frequently wonder about additional protection when I look out of my
drivers window and see nothing but massive SUV bumper next to me.  Makes me
want to drive around wearing my helmet.

Another seat that looks pretty good is out of a Subaru, WRX or STI. A little
more expensive since they are newer and no where near as plentifull but I
have seen them on ebay. I have a set for $300
