I picked up two Miata seats for $30 yesterday and the inital fitment looks good (pics this evening). The seats are a bit wide for the back pad and a few inches taller than the 914 seats, but they are very comfortable and I am not too tall. I am fighting a moral issue of changing the seats to Mazda seats, but if i go through with this I will keep the original seats.
So, has any one put one (or two) in thier 914? How did you adapt the seat rails? I dont want to drill through the floor pan if I can avoid it, so I will try and adapt to the 914 rail. Any pictures to share? I also would like to see some pictures of carpeted firewalls. |

me, i am thinking if trad dont want to dril holes in floor, maybe we can mount the new seat tracks using the existing mounts in the car, use the seat hing studs as a rear point with a croos bar mounted to them studs to hold the new tracks, and then make a cross bar that is bolted to the front seat mount bracket after the toothed hight adjuster is removed. you would have three points them to mount you track brackets, and thus still have a low track . hieght is an issue with this seat, a very fat padded bottom, kind of like Oprah, I guess we will call trads seats Oprah seats!!!
so keeping the track low is the main goal here, so the seats fit right. |
