I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: Seat options that fit in an NA
So my seats are looking very tired. They’re stained, blue instead of black, misshapen and the vinyl in the passenger seat is ripped. So I’m looking to either rejuvinate or replace them.
Looking for seats either as comfy or more comfortable than the na tombstone seats. Must be reclinable too.
Or whether paying to get them refurbished is worth it. (I’ll be retrofitting heating pads as well).
Would be looking for something with a relatively quick turn around as it’s my daily car.
Can see posts from 2011 but what have people done recently?
Ideally got a budget of a few hundred, so looking second hand, but could save for few more months for the right thing.
Also my dad has a welder so can make a simple bracket if necessary.
Would second Roadster_Robbie suggestion, the nbfl sport seats have wiring plug out for the heater element too, am working on doing the same. Then just a matter of wiring into a heater switch.
I’ve had similar thoughts. 1992 eunos v spec tan leather interior. I’d love to get maybe tan quilted leather seats or covers. Does anyone know any upholstery companies or options available?
If you have the headrest speakers working you will miss them if not swapping like for like, but you could upgrade to the MK 2.5 seats as they are a straight fit and will give more support , there is a way around keeping those seat speakers also, but advice would be ,stick with the cloth seats options, they are far more comfortable than any of the leather options , with the cloth seats on all, you sit in them as with the leather options you seats on them if that makes sense.

Are the 2.5 seats as comfy? So people say they aren’t. I wonder if they are talking about the leather ones. My headrest speakers don’t work anyway, and haven’t since I’ve had the car, so not like I’ll miss them.
Wierdly, if Mk2.5 seats are fitted into a 1996-97 Eunos Roadster with a non factory wheel, that 30mm might become very painful, on account onf the thick spacers fitted to the steering column. Factory wheels on these late cars have an eccentric boss, but if an aftermarket wheel with a centric boss, the wheel drops by half an inch, unless the spacers are taken out.
Fitting shop option leather Nardi with 93 factory boss to a 1996 Roadster, with standard factory seats resulted in rim rubbing my leg (normal build, 5’11"). Removal of 1996+ steering column spacer freed up space
Replaced this wheel. Note, similar style on late UK cars but different boss
What we also found is that the seat rails do not have as much adjustment/positions as the MK 1 and MK 2 rails. so does not go all the way back and loses front positions also, when building a MK 1 for a lady that needed the seats forward for her legs when fitting MK 2.5 seats, swapping the rails to the MK 1 units solved the issue for her…
