I hear now that the Welsh border control are checking for ability to pronounce a random 5 place names before allowing entry to the country.
So you had better leave it to me chaps.
Who knows what would happen if you said them wrong. Carriad.

Had a look and found some, not saying where though!!!! Ya B*gg*rs.
So is that an easy fit? What about the frame?can you just remove the seatbelt buckle? Is there a difference in Mk1 and others, how can you tell? do you sit higher in them or would they be easy to pack them to sit higher?
Sorry so many questions, but it could be the difference in me keeping the car, my OH cannot see out of the car well enough, sits on a cushion, not ideal when hooning about!

Cheers bud!

well mine arent fitted as yet - so cant be 100% sure.
will let you know sometime after wednesday though

however with regards to seat height - if they arent high enough you could always have some spacers made up (for any seats tbh)to fit between the runners and the floor and then just use longer bolts.

Never understood this desire for Chimaera seats ?
I found them far less supportive than my S seats,any "spirited" cornering had to done one handed coz the other arm was needed to wedge against door or centre console!
There are, I believe, two or three different styles of S seats
Me neither, my S seats are the most comfortable of any car I have ever driven. After the long drive to the Spa Classic this year I arrived as fresh as a daisy, no aches or pains.

Exactly why I have now started lookin at other alternatives, better condition S seats MX5s or any other suggestions, in a Tan/cream colour ideally.
