Adventures in Seat options - Elan Plus 2
Posted: Fri Oct 04, 2019 3:31 pm
After making some changes in the seats in my wife's NB Miata, I got to thinking about options for the Plus 2 to counter the middle/old age spread issue! The seats just don't fit as well as they did when I was 25!
Some lessons learned
- Lotus Elise seats work as do Corbeau's LE copies, using the conversion frames from Flipside Customs.
- Miata NA and NB work,
- Cobra Le Mans (which I have for an Escort Mk2 Project) fit but seat you way too high to be feasible.
Compared with trying to fit seats into a Miata or an MG, there is actually quite a bit of room, but headroom continues to be a challenge in anything that isnt an almost shell.
My preference would be the Elise/Corbeau LE.
Enjoy playing around (:
