Has any one found satisfactory replacement seats for the Jensen_Healey. Most seats seem to be too wide. My seat frames are worn out and the backs will not hold there position. |

Pat, There is a thead on the old board about this....somwhere... Some common options that fit include the Nissan 240SX, Toyota Supra, Mazda Miata and Pontiac Fiero. I went with the late 240SX seats with separate headrest and large side bolsters. Judson |

Measure out the demensions of the area and you can search aftermarket car seats, that is if you're someone who likes them. |

Pat, The sad fact is that no two seats mount the same. This really isn't a bolt-in solution, more like a total renovation project for your interior. I had to custom fabricate mounts for the brackets I had to modify from the 240SX. If they are like mine, chances are your floor-boards and x-members will need to be replaced/reinforced/rebuilt anyway. The 'good' news is that this was a perfect time to put in carpet that matched the seats I chose. Those with more funds can have the seats recovered in leather to make for a fairly high-end interior.
