Kent,
You may want to contact Brian Schlorff of PowerBritish
<britcars@powerbritish.com> about seats. He had some really nice ones in
his TR4. They were non-TR, but comfortable and good looking, although I
don't know if the passenger seat reclined or not.
He also clued me into a set of adjustable seat sliders ($26/seat) from
Summit racing, which have worked out very well in our car. I angled the
sliders (by shimming) so that the seat now goes up (about 1.5 inches) as it
goes forward, a really nice benefit for my "altitude challenged" wife Susan.
She no longer needs a cushion to sit on when she drives the TR3, which, as
you can imagine, is a huge benefit on the AutoX course. Also, she can
adjust the seat by herself now too, even while sitting on it. Try that with
an OEM TR slider! ;-)
