Phil M Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hi, I have two MX5 Mk2 leather seats I'm installing and purchased the conversation mounting brackets from TR Trader. Their instruction state to just remove the seat belt anchor, but this leaves a sizeable chunk of redundant metal which to my eye is unsightly. I'm thinking of cutting most of this off to make a more tidy and presentable job. My question is, has any one purchased Mk2 seats (MK5 1999-2003) and removed this unwanted metal without causing any problems to the seat runners? Regards Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tr6fan Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Thanks chaps cutting now. Noticed they are not the same each side, the seat belt mounting projects out further away from the seat on passenger side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
