I have a couple of questions for the group. My drivers side mirror just
broke off after having been loose and so I tightened it down to get it to
stay in place. Shortly after that it broke off. The mirrors I have are
black plastic. I saw in VB that they have four style. Plastic like mine, a
stainless steel version like mine and the Lucas style chrome (?) ones and
the vintage racer style. My question is which one came originally on '73
Spitfire 1500's. Would there be one that people recommend as working best.
Are there other places that might have better mirrors or prices? I am also
in need of an interior rear view mirror. VB seems to have one with a prism
in it for night driving. My '73 did not have a prism my '76 parts car had a
prism one which no longer works well. Spitbits only had the black plastic
style.
My other question is on seats. I have seen various places that people have
replaced the original sets with Miata seats. I also see that VB and JC
Whitney have seat covers that are supposed to be ways to rebuild the seats
without sewing. I am wondering how well these work and how well such
rebuilt seats with the new foam that VB has would compare to Miata seats for
comfort and riding position. I am fairly tall (6'3") and so do not want to
lose any head room. Also has anyone had success reworking passenger set as a
driver seat. I have been looking at moving the controls but it doesn't look
to promising I appreciate your help.
