[TR] Miata seats

[Bob Danielson]

Don,
The seats up to 1999 should fit with no problem. Once you get to the newer 
seats, they get to wide in the shoulder area and interfere with the 
top...... at least on a TR6. The earlier ones also had a cutout in the 
headrest for speakers which is great for hearing the radio while driving :-)

I recovered mine in leather from leatherseats.com. They usually have a 
monthly eBay auction for black leather to fit the early Miatas. Same covers 
that they sell in their store can be won on eBay at a major savings. It took 
me a few of their auctions to get them at the price I was willing to pay.

I made up my own mounting kit but I also worked with Joe Alexander to help 
him iron out the kinks in the original design.

You can see my whole installation/recovering process on my site at

Can anyone who has installed Miata seats please contact me. I am
contemplating doing so and need info as to which models fit, sources
of replacement seat covers, etc.
   Also, Uncle Jack developed a seat rail set for this conversion.
Anyone know if these are still available?
   Many thanks
  Don
