Seats for mk2
Posted: Sun Apr 24, 2016 10:17 pmHi people I'm struggling to find some seats that will fit the midas without going down the route of mx5 jobbies. What do you all have fitted?

Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2016 12:57 pmI was very lucky with mine. A car accessory store nearby ( not there now ) had a good selection of car seats on display. So with tape measure in hand there was a pair of corbeau reclining seats that were within size that virtually matched the interior and not too over priced.

The Mk2 is verry low, so some seats will fit, but then there is not a lot of room for your head.
All tips and tricks that works for an Mk3 and later are not working for a MK2, since the Mk2 is 4 inch lower.
I got the MX5 seats now, they do fit, but i got now problems putting my head somewhere...
I think the best choice are default bucket seats. This is still on my list when the funds are there...

I had thought to come in and say something similar. However a mk2 isn't 4" lower than a mk3, they're about the same in overall height.
It is the floor of a mk3 that is around 2" lower than in a mk2. So seats that fit well in a mk3 won't necessarily work in a mk2.
