Subject: Re: Ideas for Miata parts (Raised Seats)

To raise the seats 3/4 inch in my 91 I simply cut strips of one-by wooden

boards as wide and long as the seat's rails, drilled bolt-holes, and

painted them black.  This, and longer bolts, is all it takes.



I really like the higher ride, better view, and seemly more elbow room. 



I also lowered the steering wheel about an inch, moved the shift lever

closer, and lowered the rear view mirror, so now the car fits me perfect.





My wife likes the higher seats too, but for a very different reason --

she's now got a good place under the seat to put her purse (extra shoes,

socks, old candy, books, crossword puzzles. travel guides, and other junk

-- you should get the idea).  Now when I clean up the inside of the car I

have to have a bag to put all the stuff in that she's left under her

seat. Seems a lot of things in life have their +'s (wife) and -'s (things

she collects),
