[TR] Miata Seats

[Bob Danielson]

I wonder if your seats were out of a later model if you had to modify the seat rails though the pictures on your site look like early seats.  I know there was a break point where the rails changed.  Mine are out of a ‘93 and all the holes lined up fine with the Patton brackets. I think Rick Patton can tell you what year the seat rails changed.

Hi John,

I think my Miata seats were out of a ’99. They had speakers in the headrest, that I know for sure all though they were pretty much trashed and I ended up replacing them. I used a set of the Patton Machine billet aluminum mounting brackets which worked pretty well to mount them. You will have to modify the seat tracks as the stock mounting orientation of the bolt holes in the seat brackets are on an angle. The mounting kit comes with very clear instructions so no worries there. 

I have a webpage on installing them on my website http://davestr4a.com

I think someone else on the list has the same mounting kit but I can’t remember who right now.

Regards,

Dave Connitt

I'm scouting for Miata seats for my 65 TR4.  I've done the research, but can't quite pin down the model years from which the seats work. Has anyone used '90 seats? Or newer than 1999?  I imagine the tracks change somewhere in there but have no idea when. 

Thanks for your help.

John Howard
