Fiero Seats apparently fit perfectly if you do one of the following
A) drill a new hole for one of the "feet" or
B) saw off and re weld one of the feet.
Tony Barnhill, a list member, sells fiero seats modified to drop right
in. $125 for a pair or $150 for a pair with headrest speakers. I have no
personal tie to Tony, no financial involvement, blah blah.
I went looking for fiero seats and couldnt find them any cheaper. I even
know the guy who runs one of the major Fiero fan sites and he didnt know.
I plan to drop a pair into my 73 and cover them with an upholstery kit from
Mr. Mikes at http://www.mrmikes.net. Mr Mike is apparently working on being
able to offer the MG logo embroidered where you see the fiero logo. And
Since this is Ohio and the winters get cold, I'd like to get the integrated
seat warmers :)
I'd like to hear from people who have Fiero Seats in their B's, specifically
roadster people. I'm worried about headroom, and visibility. Do Fiero seats
make you sit too high?

P.S. - Astute readers will notice that the 71 MGB has disappeared from my
sig. I chickened out and decided to NOT purchase it.
