Triumph TR3 - Replacement Seats

I was wondering if anyone out there has replaced the original TR3 seats with any other more comfortable ones. I drive the car daily, but after 10 years, my back's not in such good shape anymore. The present seats are in good shape but I was wondering if later model TR seats or seats from a Toyota or Honda might fit in the space?

Miata seats just fit, and there was even an article written in some publication about it. I think it was called "How to Improve your TR" or something like that.
Based on this I have just found some for my own TR3 resto. Note that some Miata seats are leather, also som have speakers in the headrests, kind of cool.
Be sure to get the sliders with the seats.
Search on the net; there are Miata bulletin boards, and of course there is always ebay.

Jim - A TR3A owner here in Montreal has TR2 seats in his 3A and is looking for TR3A seats. Are you willing to sell him yours ? How much ? When would you be ready to send them ?

E-mail me off line at 58tr3a "at" videotron.ca

Change the "at" to @ for it to work.

Just found a BB where I found the Miata seats - one of many but in case you hadn't stumbled across it yet.

Thanks for all your help. I got some old Miata seats off e-bay and they fit just fine. My back feels much better.
