I put in the Miata MX5 seats and I was thrilled! I hated the seats in my TR3. With the MX5 seats, I felt like I could drive around the world in comfort. I've often thought that the TR3 seats were some sort of after thought. "Well, we have this car completed, but no seats." Then one of the designers says, "I've got some patio chairs that I'm taking to the dump. We could use those!" And the design chair said, "Great idea, bring them in!"<br><br>Allan</span><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 8.0pt;margin-left:7.5pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:150%'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><br>------------------------------<br><br>Message: 2<br>Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 17:06:23 -0400<br>From: George Haynes <<a href="mailto:ghaynestr4@aol.com">ghaynestr4@aol.com</a>><br>To: <a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net">triumphs@autox.team.net</a><br>Subject: [TR] TR4A Seats<br>Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:15c5607ffc8-396a-1cf89@webprd-m74.mail.aol.com">15c5607ffc8-396a-1cf89@webprd-m74.mail.aol.com</a>><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"<br><br>The seats in my TR4A were not comfortable from the day I bought it in 1985 and remained that way through a couple re-coverings.<br><br><br>A small lumbar pad was always needed.
