lowering a MK1 MX5 seat?

[MElliottUK]

I looked at a MK1 the other day to see if i could fit, as im quite tall. Mk2 was too small so i took up peoples advice here and tried a MK1. The Mk1 was actually quite roomy except with the seat back my head was abit to close the metal bar which forms part of the roof structure.

Can i lower the seat somehow?

Thanks

Thanks for all the great info, I've been on holiday so this will make my weekend reading.

Thanks again much appreciated, looks interesting, fitting elise seats to the MK2's especially as i had rejected them because of space issues.

Just a quick question if i wish to mount elise seats on the MX-5 runners will i need to fabricate a mounting kit, if so do you know of any links or guides to a tried and tested method?

I also like the idea of using elise runners as the lower the better but as mentioned above keeping the MX-5 runners maybe alot simpler.

Does changing the seat mounts have an effect on the MOT, ie are there rules and regs on the safe fitting of a seat (bolt types, thickness ect)

Thanks
