Seats

Afternoon!

Has anyone fitted RX8 seats in a chimaera? Or, would they fit in a chimaera?

I had planned to get MX5 seats with speakers in head rest - but a set of pristine RX8 seats are available to me if I want them...

not really found any previous on threads on these seats

If you have the measurements for original seats not forgetting to add runner height you should be able to work it out, the important bits being the base width and length then back height and width as you don’t want your new seats to clash with roll hoop. Mx 5 seats on runners sit higher and my mates clashed with the hoop when dropping top down I think!

Will try and get some measurements on old seats! Cheers Alun

No worries, your doing a fine job.
Inspirational even

My cars away or I’d have measured em

Take into account the door card arm rest might clash too

MX5 seat on my side, strange one, the drivers side fits OK the passenger side clashes with the hoop!

I hope you're not suggesting these cars aren't perfectly symmetrical

David, if the RX8 seats are no use to you and they are still available can you drop me an e mail or pm? Thanks.
