Mk3 Mazda MX5 seats

[NYK]

Does anyone know if these will fit a Plus2

[JonB]

Yes I think they do. I've been after a set of fawn coloured ones for ages..

If in doubt, ask the seller to measure the seat bases. I think if they are more than 50" across they will be tight.

Thanks Jon, yes have asked him. They?re in pretty good condition, leather plus heated so it would be nice if they fitted

How will you deal with the seat belt securing? The original seat belts secure to the chassis but these are to the seats - that themselves are to the fibreglass floor?

I was rather assuming that the attachments on the top of the seats are simply guides/retainers for the belt and not mounts. I would have thought they should be quite useful in the Plus 2. My car was in bits when I bought it, but surely the inertia reels fit on the inside of the rear wheel arch with a spreader plate outboard.

Sorry, just realised you were referring to the belt mount on the tunnel, I guess I would simply use the lotus ones and remove the ones on the seat.

I suppose I asked for that! What I was meaning to ask was if it was possible to remove the belt mount on the seats without affecting the "finish" of the seat.
I assume by your answer that you've seen it is possible.

For the record, I can confirm that these Mk3 seats are not a viable option. At 93cm high, they are just too high for the car.

[JonB]

That's a bit of a rhum deal.

[NYK]

Yes, looks like I'll have to get the Lotus ones refurbished.

I have Fiat X1/9 seats which are a good fit and comfortable. MR2 seats are also reported to be a good fit.
