[TR] Miata Seats

[Bob Danielson]

I don’t know if Joe is still making the brackets and they’re not listed on his site. He sent another TR6 owner and myself a set to test fit a few years ago and we got back to him with our fit issues. At one point he was debating whether to redesign them based on our input. 

Maybe he dropped the product after Patton came out with his brackets.....

Joe Alexander has a very nice mounting kit that I really like. Check The-vintage-racer.com

  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.

  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.
