How do you tell the diff between NB8A & 8B seats from pics

[BadBong]

Any ideas?

Saw a pair of NB8B/C seats online but i can't tell the difference between them and my own (8As). I know they are alot better for support so how do you tell?

[philz]

NA


NB8A



NB8B


Surely you can tell by these pics?

The 8b has a more "pointy" head, larger side bolsters etc.

Thanks Philz - just as I'd thought, they're 8A seats...

[wun911]

are the seat rails interchangeable on NB8A and NB8B??

I just want some rails so i can swap seats quickly....

[philz]

99% sure they are.

AFAIK all na/nb seats should bolt to all na/nb rails.

I'm running na seats atm

[philz]

yeah I'm 100% sure about the mountings to the chassis from na/nb are the same.

But from the seats to the rails, I think they are.

[wun911]

how do you run na seats in your nb where do you clip the seat belt to???

Oh well... ain't gonna get NB8A seats but will a fair of 05' RX8 seats fit into a NB8A? (need rails maybe?)

Assuming that the rx8 seats are electric, it is possible to power them up sourcing the power from 'somewhere' in the mx5 cabin?

[philz]

rx8 will fit.

It's a pain the ass, you will need rails made up.

Give us a budget on what you want.

How much do you think it'll cause to get custom rails and have the rx8 seats fitted? (will the electric buttons work?)
