These seats are recommended in the book "How to Improve Triumph TR2-4A" by Roger Williams. They fit right in, but took some manufacturing of new seat rails, which was not difficult. They look great and are soooo comfortable. The comfort of the seats was always my biggest complaint about my TR3. I paid $60 for the pair at a wrecking yard and they are in great condition. I could now drive across country from Oregon to the east coast and be comfortable, whereas driving to the local grocery store used to be an exercise in discomfort! They don't look original, but I have taken to heart a quote I read on this forum several years ago from a TR3 owner: "I do not have a problem with making changes to my TR3 when it involves improving performance, safety, or comfort, as long as I feel it doesn't change the basic character of the car."<br><br>Allan<br><br><br></span><br>On 1/17/2017 at 2:19 PM, <a href="mailto:triumphs-request@autox.team.net" data-mce-href="mailto:triumphs-request@autox.team.net">triumphs-request@autox.team.net</a> wrote:<blockquote style="border-left: solid 1px #ccc; margin-left: 10px; padding-left: 10px;" data-mce-style="border-left: solid 1px #ccc; margin-left: 10px; padding-left: 10px;">Send Triumphs mailing list submissions to<br> <a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net" data-mce-href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net">triumphs@autox.team.net</a><br><br>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br> <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/triumphs" rel="noreferrer" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/triumphs">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/triumphs</a><br>or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br> <a href="mailto:triumphs-request@autox.team.net" data-mce-href="mailto:triumphs-request@autox.team.net">triumphs-request@autox.team.net</a><br><br>You can reach the person managing the list at<br> <a href="mailto:triumphs-owner@autox.team.net" data-mce-href="mailto:triumphs-owner@autox.team.net">triumphs-owner@autox.team.net</a><br><br>When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>than "Re: Contents of Triumphs digest..."<br><br><br>Today's Topics:<br><br> 1.
