I’ve just acquired a nice set of VX220 seats for my Mk1. I want to be able to use the seat adjustment so I need some brackets made up to fit the seats to the original Mazda runners.
Does anyone have:
a. A set they can sell me?
b. A set of plans/templates that I can borrow/purchase so I can get some made up?
I’m guessing that the VX220 seats are exactly the same fitment as the Elise/Exige, so any of those designs should be OK. PLease tell me if I’m wrong!
Thanks All - I’ve been offered a set for £100 on Nutz by Randamonia, so if you’re on here too…no offence meant!
Got to be quick as I’m just about to get ready for work…
I was going to do this to mine. I went to the extent of going to a Lotus dealer, explaining the salesman that he wasn’t going to make a sale to me but I wanted to sit in a Mk1 Elise for about 20 minutes to see if the seats were comftable enought to live with. Suprisingley he aggreed and I have to say, they were really nice! Minimal padding, But the way the shell was sculpted ment this didn’t matter.
Anyway, Have a look here. This site should give you all the info you need, But remember that it’s an American car he’s done it to, so you might need to do a mirror image of them for a right hand drive car.
I just reread the original post. I was thinking you’d bought a single Elise seat, Not a pair. If your fitting a pair then it doesn’t matter which sides the drivers side.
I’ve a feeling that MX5 seat runners are handed for driver or passenger sides, But I’m not 100% sure on that.
