[TR] What seats will fit the Uncle Jack Seat Conversion Kit

[Bob Danielson]

I just got Uncle Jack's brackets and the quality is outstanding with regard 
to manufacturing and finish. I hope to get them installed this week, if my 
back will allow me to do any "heavy" lifting.   As always, I'll be taking 
pictures, documenting the whole process and posting it all to my site upon 
completion. I'm sure the fit will be as good as the appearance.

As to what seats will fit in a TR6........... my understanding is that it is 
only the early seats, maybe up to 1997. After that they get too wide in the 
shoulder area and interfere with the top's frame. I know one guy who got a 
late set and had to do some serious frame modification so that the seats 
would fit and the top would go up and down.

The Miata has always been called MX5 everywhere but in the states, and now 
the newer models are called also MX5.

Bob & SIX PACK,

I think all of the Miata seats fit, Uncle Jack's design, but I have this 
gnawing feeling that there might be an exception. Can anyone help us?

I have had two questions stateside about the Miata seats.

I have also had the same question from offshore regarding the "MX5", which I 
think is the same.

Any help would be appreciated.

BTW, The TRIUMPH & SIX PACK list offer still stands until the 1st of 
January.  Conversion Kit: $60 including shipping.

Thanks! Joe & Sean Alexander
