Whatever Daz, why don't you actually buy some of the seats you rave about so much and see for yourself ? The point is they don't simply fit straight in if you want to use the existing holes in the floor. Plus I don't have a welder and just do the best I can with what I have.
Get something fabricated ,it is a kit car you know ! I would not expect them to fit, it is a completely different seat.Edited by Richard 858 on Tuesday 18th November 21:40
I simply replied to the question "alternative seats" so posted some pictures of them fitted to Robs car .
Rob fitted them because of his bad back and it cured the problem . Why not mail engineer1949 he fitted some in Nicks car .

So are you going to invest then Daz?.... You know you want to
Right, both now fitted, I didn't realise initially that the runners on the drivers side had been modified by a previous owner, which made the conversion more difficult than it needed to be, when I removed the passenger seat it was a lot simpler, mind you by then I had a pattern to follow from the drivers side, here you go:
This is a mock up of my final design with 1 ally spacer fitted, shown upside down so to speak. The repair washer sits on the underside of the seat base.
This is the seat frame fitted with 3 spacers.
View under the seat cushion, internal seat base fixings.

Demon Tweeks, road legal 2" wide 3 point, 3 screw in eyes for each harness - 1 to standard seat belt clip mount on transmission tunnel, 1 to standard seat belt mounting on sill just below door opening and 1 screwed through to welded in chassis boss behind the seats, drilled through rear shelf. (fitted to 94/95 year onwards I believe).

I`m going to get some but i want to find out what they are like for long journeys and am i right to say they do not recline .
How much do they actualy cost and how do i colour match or is my interior a standard TVR colour .Do standard seat belts work ?

Daz, correct they do not recline which is the main reason to take time fitting, trying, removing adjusting, refitting etc, etc to get the base angle right as this sets the back rest angle. I only drove up to Birmingham & back last Sunday and that was with the seat mounted too high for me in reality and I still found it comfortable. I'm sure the comfort will very much depend on the individual and their posture, size & shape. Thanks for the original tip on the seats and when you get yours I'm sure you'll work it out Daz, after all it's only a kit car apparently !!!!!!!!!!
