Todd;
I use a Cobra Suzuka seat in my TR4A. Very comfortable and good support. Took
a lot of doing and building the cage around the seat to make it fit.
I tried the Cobra "Vintage" seat as it fit much better in the car, but was too
narrow for my butt (34 waist).
My son uses an "Upright" Kirkey, leaned back a bit) in his '62 TR4. It's Ok
but an upgrade is on his "to do" list.
Two things we learned when selecting seats:
1) FIA seats approved for installation with no back support REQUIRE that the
mounts supplied by the manufacturer be used in order to not use a back support.
2) After five years, any FIA seat requires a back support whether or not it is
approved without a back support when new.
So it is best to plan on adding a back support to the seat regardless of
rating. (We supported my seat directly from the roll cage on one side) and
added a back support.
