I'm also in the middle of this same project. I found some seats out of a
'92 Miata...they're in perfect condition!!!
Teglers site shows the most info. What I plan to do is a sort of
"copycat" of his procedure only I don't plan on using the original bolt hole
but instead I plan on drilling new holes. The old holes had 5 out of 8 bolts
rusted in place so they're not worth anything anyhow.
I hope it works!!!!!!!
