Some of the aftermarket manufacturers (like Corbeau) still make "Clubman"
type seats, which have fixed seat backs and no head rests...they're also not
very expensive.
I personally think this type of seat is perfect for the Tiger, as it is
"period correct", fits easily, and provides great lateral support. Many of the
newer seats just don't look right in the car, IMHO.
Having said that, I haven't done the swap on my car, so I don't have real
experience with the seats. There is also a firm in Reno that builds seats for
vintage racing (aluminum shell w/suitable padding and leather covering
surfaces)...I can't remember the name, if there's any interest I can find out
easily
enough.
