I've done a fair amount of thinking concerning seats to use in the
fuel-injected car I'm building. I've pretty much done away with the first
generation Toyota MR2 (sold last car a couple months ago). I drove one for 6
years without any issues as a daily driver, but have moved on to the 'Stang
convertible and other toyz. Believe it or not, that isn't a bad option to
utilize a pair of those bucket seats. They came in a variety of colors, and
the seat width makes it a realistic possibility. I kept an extra pair from a
S/C car, and they have nice fabrics as well as a ratcheting headrest and are
very comfortable and adjustable. I drove many miles in those seats and have
no complaints. I also have a Mazda Miata, and they have a very nice, compact
seat as well with nice support as well as factory speakers in the headrests.
Just a couple of options for consideration. I'm sure there are other Tiger
owners out there who have come across good replacements for the custom car.
Dad used a pair of Huntmaster seats in his Tiger for quite a few years and I
thought they fit well. One obstacle is the shoulder area width due to the
hardtop latch and that needs to be addressed when fitting seats/rails.

Subject: [Tigers] Non factory seats in tiger
Anyone have experience or suggestions for non factory seats? My seats are
falling apart at the seams and I would not mind extra lateral support and a
head rest in this daily driver.
Thanks
