seats

The Cobra cub is a nice looking seat. Very close to what is in the photo. You can probably get them without the headrest, or ask if they make a smaller one. I only have a headrest because its mandatory in competition with a roll bar, otherwise I wouldn't bother.
 
they actually have a seat that I like and fairly inexpensive I just hat dealing with the UK can't find a US destributer
 
I put a pair of Mazda Miata leather seats into one of my Healeys. Very comfortable and the headrest has built in speakers.

Those are very popular with the MGB crowd, and it may even be possible to get recover kits with the MG Octogon, as I've seen more than one (>1) B so fitted.

But alas, I'm steadfastly in the highback seats don't look right in a Healey faction.

I was thinking along the lines of these, but I didn't want to have a black interior (in hindsight, Moss's Honey Tan is proven a bear to keep looking clean...).

I really like the look and stability of these GT Clqassic's Monza seats, but have to wonder how many more years would I be able to get (in and) out of them...

i am in a similar dilemna. my stock seat is just too high for me . i like to sit down in the seat as opposed to sitting on the seat! i bought an aluminum kirkey??? low back seat for my healey replica from summit racing. it is a strong and rigid seat...all aluminum with a black vinyl cover. also has opening for lap belts and and anti sub belt and is very light in weight. they are available in a number of widths and mount to seat rails very easily. 'course the seat back is fixed and the degree of rake is built in. they also have a bit of wrap of the torso which gives a little side impact protection i would think.i am considering one of those for my healey but would have it reupholstered in the proper healey pattern. as a note i had the miata seats but found them just not to my liking...too small and the seat backs too tall for me but otherwise very good seats!!
