New Seats

My shoulder tops are about 6 inches over the top of the original seat & the headrest is a backrest! I'm looking at replacing these with MX5 Seats. Can someone please confirm the version of Mazda seat is the removable headrest type etc & what I'm letting myself in for in terms of fitting these in? When I purchase the seats are there any floor fixings I need to make sure I get or are the new seats using the original Triumph ones? Many thanks. Guy

The spacer is an M10 joining nut, drilled out half way from one end, with appropriate sized bit, and then tapped 7/16 UNF to screw on to the captive bolts in the TR TRader brackets. A good heavy wide M10 washer between the joining nut and the seat runner. I then used either 20 or 25mm M10 tapered head bolts with a washer underneath so I can fit the MX5 plastic seat runner covers.
