[Fot] 1959 TR3A Driver's Seat Recommendations

[DAVE HOGYE]

Hi Ken,
Congratulations on your first weekend back on track with the TR3.
I really like the Kirkey Vintage seat in my car.  It's appropriate without a built-in headrest because my roll bar has one.  Either way, Kirkey is good quality, strong, safe and economical.  I like the snap-in cover too.  You can add padding where needed.  You might consider a TR4A or TR6 adjustable track to for mounting if you need one.
