Lee,
Go and post a request about seats on www.miata.net which is what I did. Then
check out these guys www.btdtracing.com & www.isellmiataparts.com They told
me they have a bunch of seats. Seeing as they're a race outfit, the seats
may be in good shape having been removed for racing seats.

I got my covers from Leatherseats.com and they differentiate between the '96
& '97 seats. They may be worth an email or call to see what the difference
is. I was also told that the original fabric holds up very well and that
fabric spray "paint" does a great job of making them look like new. But I do
love the leather covers!

What every your do...........go for the head rest speakers!

I have had the "uncle jack" brackets for some time now, and keep looking for
Miata seats to finish the conversion. But no luck so far! Any hints about
finding good seats? I looked at Bob Danielson's very nice page on
overhauling a set of seats - I'd be happier if I found seats that were "good
enough" to not require such extensive repair. I was betting that here in the
Houston area I would be able to find good seats; we're pretty flush with
junk yards in every direction. But so far (and I haven't really gone all out
on my search) no luck.

Also - I recall that the '90-'97 seats were the correct ones to fit; is my
understanding correct?

many thanks,
Lee
