[Fot] 1959 TR3A Driver's Seat Recommendations

[Terry Sopher]

The new production Triumph TR4-TR6 adjustable seat track/slider brackets have been discontinued.  The last set I found available were $250 plus shipping.  So, used may be the only option!

> I really like the Kirkey Vintage seat in my car.  It's appropriate without a built-in headrest because my roll bar has one.  Either way, Kirkey is good quality, strong, safe and economical.  I like the snap-in cover too.  You can add padding where needed.  You might consider a TR4A or TR6 adjustable track to for mounting if you need one.
