Triumph TR6 - miata seat help

ok, so Ive read a lot on the miata seat conversion. I've attempted to contact "uncle jack" about the conversion kit with no luck. I also don't want to start cutting up the miata seat rails. Is there any other way? The TR is just sitting in the driveway with no seats and dont want to put the stock ones back in, just to remove them again. Thanks for all the help so far

SBF,
Check CD I. I'm sure that Rick or I put the instructions for the Miata seat conversion on there for all.

Here's a site a few of us stumbled across recently. It includes the seat conversion.

Ken,
Better description; more detailed and complete that we had before. Thanks for the referral.

db... are there specific Miata years that do not work in our 6's? I'd likely rebuild my seats with new foam first but in case I weaken I/we'all should know what years work best for the conversion.

so pretty much i'm going to have to cut, bend, drill since I cant get the adapter. I think it will be easier to put the stock seats back in and some time down the road get them rebuilt. Thnaks for the help guys

I bought a set of Uncle Jack's seat brackets just before he died. I haven't fitted them yet, so I can take pictures, measurements etc. if you like. Alternatively, you could contact Joe Alexander, who can either sell you a set, or tell you where to get them. His website is www.the-vintage-racer.com which shoudl give you contact details. Might as well pick up some of the other nice shiny things he sells while you are talking to him!

Cheers

A Hewitt, I also tried contacting vintage racer and never got anything back. Im just going to put the original seats back in and sell the miata seats I just bought. Less of a headache
