Plus 2 Headliner? source? tips?

Mike, the seats are early 70's MGB. The ones that came with the car were the same, without headrests and had a lower mounting rail relocated to fit the original Lotus seat runners. It took me eight years to realise what they were.. The current seats are now standard MGB, with headrests and MGB runners mounted on plates attached to the floor bobbins. This fixes the squab to the floor, leaving the seat back to tip forward to give access to the back. Very comfy, in period, safer, stronger frame than original, easy to find & refurbish and lighter than standard Lotus (at least the later ones). I saw another +2 with the same MGB seats at Donnington this year.
