Wedge TR7 / TR8 seat question

[tdskip]

Quick question - are TR7 seat track / mounting assembly's identical to TR8?

My TR8 seats are wobbly, and it looks like part of the track is missing. I have access to a spare set still installed in a TR7 coupe, but wanted to double check that they'd fit.

Thanks!

I do not beleive the tracks or seat mounts ever changed on the wedges. I used a set of seats from a a 78 in my 80 and it was an exact match.

Thanks for bringing the seat topic up. Is there a consensus idea for seat swaps in the 7-8 like the Miata for the 6?

Can anyone tell me what size Torx is used for the seat rails?

If it is the same as the door lock mech. it is T30.

I wish some one would tell me a easy swap, I would like a better set of seat with out the cost of refinishing them

I think that this thread had some pretty good information.

Sorry different forum that makes you register. one suggestion in the thread was 2002 Cellica GT seats.

Been awhile since I have been on that forum.

The Celica seats looked really good!

Shawn, Looks like a lot of import seats will fit.

Got the right one now. The seats use a T40, I also picked up a T30 so I'm set if I ever need to adjust the door locks.

Thanks /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif

What is up with the Torx screws anyway. Did GM buy a part of BL and not tell anyone??
