Hey Listers:
I just picked up a TR7 coupe that I'm going to part out. Good Rover 5
speed, some nice rims, air horns and good seats.
Has anyone ever tried to put TR7 seats in a Spitfire? They look a tad
oversize, but are in really nice shape, much better than what I currently
have in my '78 Spit.
BTW, I have installed Miata seats in my '67 GT and they were almost a
direct bolt-in! The radio speakers in the headrest would be totally
awesome in a roadster! The seats are very supportive & comfortable!
Cheers,
