TR4/4A Possible to put TR6 seats in a TR4A

[blhazzard]

Just a quick survey to see if anyone has installed TR6 highback with headrest seats in a TR4A ?
Looking at the seat rail set for mounting.. (Moss: 801-430 $78.99 SEAT RAIL SET (3 pcs.)) is the same part
number for the TR4 (TR4 from (b)20877CT - 4A) and TR250/TR6.

I am looking for a more comfortable seat with a higher back and head rest since I know that roll bar is going to hurt if I ever get rear ended...

Is this as simple as buying replacement TR6 seats ?
I am planning to keep the refurbed TR4A seats for show purposes.

Any comment on these ? (other than their cost).

YES, it is doable. I have two TR4's and both of them have the TR6 high back seats. I did it mostly for the reclining feature of the seats. One car has a red interior and the TR6 red seat covers match perfectly. At least the ones from TRF do.
The second TR4 has the midnight blue interior so I had to special order the midnight blue covers through TRF. I used the stock seat slides from TRF in both cases.

Charley,
Thanks ... So you used the seats from The Roadster Factory ? URL ?

Any comment on the Moss TR6 replacement seats ?
My TR4A is the stock red with black interior.. keeping it that way so no issue with color.

Yes, I bought the vinyl seat covers and the foam kits for both from TRF. I ACQUIRED THE FIRST SEAT SET WITH A TR4 parts car. The second set of seats I bought on eBay. I had a local shop assemble the first set as all there was were the frames and strapping. The second set were complete when I bought them. So I disassembled them and built the new set myself. I have no experience with the Moss covers.
