[Spits] High back Spitfire seat

[Andrew S. Mace]

 As has been said, he would have to cut down the frame of the seat back. Even
then, though, there is (to my recollection) no "earlier Spitfire upholstery"
that would fit those seats, assuming they are the original-to-the-car seats.

It would be a lot easier to bolt in 1973 or later Spitfire seats, from which
the separate headrests can be removed. THAT said, I'm not sure I understand
why one would not want the headrests?

Hi,

I have a friend with a 69 Spitfire with the high backs.  He is wondering
if her can remove the headrest extension and then use the earlier
Spitfire upholstery that does not have the headrests.     He thinks it
looks better with the low backs.

Would that be a straight switch, or would he have to do something else.
