[TR] Miata seats

[GHaynesTR4 at aol.com]

Don,
I have installed a pair of older Miata seats (with speakers in headrests) 
in my TR4A using Uncle Jack's seat track adaptors.   The track adaptors had 
to be used a bit differently than for a TR6, for which they were developed.   
I think son Tony and Joe Alexander may still offer the track adaptors.   
They cost   about $60.

Ironically, Uncle Jack sent me the adaptors, arriving on a Tuesday and two 
days later he died in the racing accident.   I feel kinda close to Jack even 
though I never actually met him.

I had my seats completely recovered in leather and cloth to match the rest 
of the interior.   They look great and have provided much-needed relief for 
my back and knees.   I guess the only issue is some loss of access to the 
rear seat, where we carry a lot of stuff while traveling.   The real problem 
there is the Surrey top rear backglass.   Nevertheless, the seats tip forward 
and are well worth the cost and effort for this old guy's achy body.   
You'll love them!
Good luck
George Haynes
PS:   I also installed a set of 2008 Miata seats in my 1963 Ford Econoline 
van, but that's another story.
