When I was installing my Miata seats I was at the same place as you.
My
solution was to take a 1/4" x 2" flat bar weld a 5/8" or 3/4" nut to the bar
and that add a washer to the top and bottom of the stock Miata bracket which
was bent according to Nelson's instrucrtions. After all the measurements were
taken the bars were bolted to the stock holes and the seats to nuts. This gave
just enough clearance for the seats to slide with out any modification to
them.
Sorry I don't have pictures. I am 6' 1"and have no problem seeing and
have a Roll Bar that limits about 1.5" of further back travel.

Subject: Re: [6pack] Miata seat bracket
I'm very tempted
to cut about 2" off the bottom of the seat pan and welding in a new bottom.
It seems to me that this might be a good solution if I can keep from
compromising the integrity of the seat by damaging the foam
