[TR] What Year Miata Seats Fit TR6

[Bob Danielson]

Stan......... when you get to the later seats, they're too wide across the 
shoulders and interfere with convertible top's bracket. Ken Hiebert bought 
the wrong ones for his car and ended up doing so serious modifications on 
the bracket so that his top will go up and down.

But you're "spot on" about the speaker recommendation. With the headrest 
speakers you can actually hear the radio with the top down at 70 mph.
