Plus 2 Seats

[sprintsoft]

The plus 2 original seats lift up from the rear, rotating around the front pivot and so if you fit any kind of headrest you will hit the roof lining before allowing much access to the rear seats.

The alternative is to use recliners that will fold The backrest far enough forwards so a small person might step through the gap, the TF seats will do that.

. Also +2 seats are flat with the floor tilting upwards but MX5 seats are higher at the front to suit flat floors.



thanks

this is not a problem, the X19 seats are much deeper, higher than the original, and it is a significant improvement

Having your legs actually resting on the seat is much better

I've got a pair of early MX5 seats as an interim, they're light and comfortable and look easy to fit. The high back MX5 seats are probably too tall, a shame,

I'll see how they go and then may look for a leather pair.

Never thought of TF, I'll certainly look at them too.

Thanks all
Mike

If you're a sucker for punishment Elise seats should fit, the MX5 guys like to put them in. Not very comrfortable though!

I think you are being harsh with the Elise seats. I have been running a pair of leather Exige seats in my sprint for a few years now and they are really comfortable.

Hi Gavin, can you post a pic for us? That sounds interesting!

I made the sub-frames and they could be better because there isn't much fore aft movement. Also, the rear of the runners needed a plate each side to make them work which I might do differently but I think they are really comfy. Not great for a plus 2 I imagine because access to the rear could be challenging....
