What did you do to mount the seats? Could you use or modify the stock Alfa mounts?

Best regards,
Monsai52

 

[bianchi2]

made my own, can post photos..if you wish

 

[Monsai52]

Yes, I'd like to see some images of the mounts. Which year Miata seats are you using? I assume that they're set up for 3 point belts.

Best regards,

the perfect solution to second gear problems

I've been looking far and wide for a couple of Miata seats for my 74 Spider, a junkyard in Shreveport said they had two on the floor. So I drive over to check them out and they never had them in the first place. A wasted trip except I got a road trip out of the GTV and on the way back there was a B-52 shooting approaches at Barksdale and the pattern took him right over my head at about 1500 feet so added all up the trip wasn't a total waste, still looking for those seats though.

Gigem - You might call Flyin' Miata or the classifieds on Miata Forum for used seats.

So what are you going to do to keep the stock Spider shoulder belt from slipping off of your shoulder, seeing as the Alfa seats have that loop there?

 

[gigem75]

Thanks, I'll give that a shot!

have some black leather, an a snap.. will double the leather to look nice, and sew 3-4" into the seat, with the snap

Thanks, found some beige leather and am putting the drivers seat in now. I'm taking a different approach to mounting though. Will post some photos in my resto thread.
