I hope you're short or you're going to be looking out over the top of the windscreen!

Make sure you keep the original seats as they'll be needed in the future. They're also far more comfortable than MGF items.

Me also. Even if we don't have MGFs here.[;)]
Fella over here in our TR club has a TR8 with Miata seats that looks like they came from the factory.

They look pretty good. Nice side support to stop my skinny butt sliding around & I could do with a back pocket on my seats to file my parking tickets. [:)] Is the height of the front edge the same as the original seat?

pretty much he cut the feet off the back end welded a bar across 4 support left the original 2 front mountings as theyre flat as the front floor dips he used 3 nuts as a spacer so as to level the seat so yes id say level as the original an for me in my own opinion more comfortable than the original seats as i used to get aches in the backs of my legs with theses seats i dont get any[:D]
