I'm in the process of rebuilding GT-6 seats...and I thought they were
same/similar to Spitfire seats...they aren't same as TR-6, being
narrower and lacking inner thigh support which is provided by pads
attached to the transmission tunnel. I would think that covers for
GT-6/Spitfire seats would be shaped uncomfortably for the TR-6 seat
shape....so do carefully research before springing for that option.
As an aside, the rebuild of the GT-6 seats is possibly the worst
experience I've had, despite excellent quality materials and all new
parts and pieces...After hours of immersion in glue, foam, fabric and
leather, hands take on that look reminiscent of the early sixties
werewolf featured in black and white "B" movies...complemented by
frustration over the myriad pieces of foam, small fabric parts and
little metal clips, non of which seem intended for the places the
instructions (writ in old english) claim them to be!
Good luck!
Cheers

I believe Victoria British (Long Motor Corp.) carries TR6 seat covers, at
least they carry Spitfire covers - and at worst you could use those. They
would probably fit since the interior dimensions of the two cars are the same.
