Well, the seats are in and I thought someone might like my learnings on the fit and finish.
- they do fit with some modifications to the miata railings.
- the rails are NOT the same between the driver and passenger sides on the miata seats. You have to fit each one individually.
- the major modifications come on the drivers front and the passenger rear.
- the miata seat bottoms sit much lower than the spitfire.
- once in, the front to back sliding travel is greatly reduced when the miata seats are in the spit because of the above. expect only about 1 1/2" travel.
- if you are six foot and under, the above is not an issue.
- the seats are MUCH more comfortable than the original seats.
Paul Tegler's site is great but does not tell the whole story. Anyone that wants more details, fell free to ask.
BTW - the Spit is a '79 and the seats were from a '91.
