Brian,
Miata Seats look fabulous in your car. Got any pics of the mounting brackets or did you simply drill new holes in the floor to mount the seats. Looking for a set right now to replace some very worn seats in a '68.
I saw the article in Classic Motorsports on using Miata Seats in their project car but pics don't really show when bracket fabrication was needed to mount the seat to the original mounting holes.
Any additional mounint or fabrication pics would be helpful. Trying not to reinvent the wheel. Take care. TIA.

I'd be happy to see the seats if I can find a Miata Set. They need recovering. These seats have headrests. Miata Seats more room in cockpit, more leg room, cloth seats breathe, shipping might be an issue as costs for shipping might be pretty steep. Could always use the large garbage bag shipping technique. Miata Seats $100-120 going junkyard rate.VB or MOSS Seatcover kit $250.00+. If you are interested I'd certainly sell them.
John Kuzman in Cincinanti is dismantling a '68 right now. No clue if there are seats in it. / condition

Bill,
Bugsy came out a a yard where there were 6 Spridgets in various stages on canibalization. Some '68's did come with headrests and then they went top the Cone Shaped headrests for '69 and then back to the round type headrests after '69

Bill,
FYI - for all the Midget seats with headrests, they can be pulled out, and VB / Moss sell a little plastic blanking plate (about $1 each) to cover the resultant hole.
Best,
Duncan
