Glenn,
The UNCLE JACK designed seat conversion kit doesnt seem like a lot of steel
and gets excellent reviews for installation.
Complete kit costs about $10 to ship PrIority Mail....not Flat Rate.
Third production run just sold out.

I just went through this with my 74 TR6 (made from 3 cars)
TRF had the seat foam kits on sale for just under $300 and if you act now you
can get the Victoria Brit (winter sale) Vinyl covers on sale for a fairly
reasonable cost.
I've purchased seat covers for Spits and TR's from Moss and Vic Brit and I
have to assume that there are only so many suppliers in the British Car
Supplier pipeline and I think they are selling the same stuff.
Go with the lowest cost as it will likely be from the same supplier.
These seat covers are incredibly simple to recover especially if you buy new
seat foams. Try to do it yourself. I just purchased the stuff to do on a 74.
My wife and I cut and sewed a new set for our 71 and we have recovered TR7's
and MGB's.
The other option is the Miata seats, which are reasonable and look good in the
car. I have a couple sets of those as well. The problem is mounting and what
is out there is a whole lot of steel to put them in a TR.
Good Luck

dash and the crash pad. The seats are out and need to be rebuilt. My problem
is cost effective money to rebuild the seats. Moss Motors has probably the
nicest set on the market but covers, foam, and misc doodads are over $2000.00
plus having a shop do the work...dang near $1500 a seat... ouch... VickyBrit
has a set for a little over $1000.00 with pads, and doodads... We spent $5000
on a complete soda blasting and respray of the original paint last year (the
car has never been wrecked or damaged,ever)... the car looks like a million
bucks... just having a had time justifying $3000 for new seats.... I've even
looked on eBay this morning and there's a company building new aluminum rally
seats with your choice of color for the $350 range each... Any ideas FoT?
