I picked up two Miata seats for $30 yesterday and the inital fitment looks good (pics this evening). The seats are a bit wide for the back pad and a few inches taller than the 914 seats, but they are very comfortable and I am not too tall. I am fighting a moral issue of changing the seats to Mazda seats, but if i go through with this I will keep the original seats.
So, has any one put one (or two) in thier 914? How did you adapt the seat rails? I dont want to drill through the floor pan if I can avoid it, so I will try and adapt to the 914 rail. Any pictures to share? I also would like to see some pictures of carpeted firewalls. |

Yes the bottom of the seat is higher than the stock 914 seat (both passanger and driver). My car is a '70 so it has the early passanger seat that is fixed and I think it sits a bit lower than the stock 914 driver seat. I can take a side by side pic of the stock and miata seat this afternoon as well as the stock seat reinstalled.
