Do NB8A seat rails fit NB8B seats?

Postby timetorelax » Mon Apr 21, 2008 5:59 pm

Hi

I have (hopefuly) sourced a pair of seats from an mx-5 SP with no rails or seat belt buckle.

Does anyone know if I can remove the seat rails and seatbelt buckle from my nb8a seats and bolt them straight on?

Thanks
Ed

pretty sure you can.

i know on the NA's the seatbelt buckle is fixed to the trans tunnel where as on the NB8A its on the seat rail mech... and i think its the same NB8B. in anycase the bolt hole centers should line up but id want someone to confirm that before i bought anything..

Just got a pair of NB8B seats (thanks BIGDOG) and yes the NB8A seat rails & seat belt buckle fit perfectly.

Yup I have SE seats on my NB8A rails, no worries.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
