Period Correct Looking Bucket Seats for an S30z

[gav240z]

So I was looking for a while to track down the maker of these seats.

 

I finally came across it and thought I'd share.

 

Nakamae Type R Seats

Page that features Type R seat: http://www.nakamae.co.jp/product_guidance.html

 

 

Even in a vintage red!

 

Couple of reviews here: http://www.miata.net/products/interior/nakamae.html

 

Since they are bolt in mx5 seats they shouldn't be too much work to fit in an S30z.

 

They look very similar to the PS30-SB seats (a.k.a 432-R style). Ikeda Bussan seats

But as noted by HS30-H the originals had a "'hopsack' weave wool / acryl blend on the face ( office chair material! ) with black vinyl on the reverse side and headrest."

 

You could trim these seats in a similar fashion (if you know the right person) and get a pretty period correct look without the discomfort of the originals or concern around wear etc..

 

*Edit pics of original material are in the same thread you dummy!

I have seen those seats listed on yahoo auctions a few times and if i had a 2 seater would love a set.

I have heard these seats a tiny, so if you're a bigger bloke I'd probably think twice...
