Confusion over Harrison wheel offsets

Mazda RX-7 seats, just recently re-trimmed. See if Wazza can chime in here and remember what series/year. Very good seats actually, been in them quite a few times.

Mazda MX-5 seats have also been popular. Although hard to find even at importers now. We were one of the first or the first to use MX-5 seats, spent a long time searching importers for seats to fit the Harrison. Then passed word around the club when we had found something that fitted well. Note you fit passenger seat to drivers side and vice versa.

If you are looking for donor seats, think very small sports car. Anything bigger than MX-5/RX-7 and the seats won't fit. If you just end up with side bolsters on the base being squeezed between the tunnel and outside wall(seat a little on wide side) you can get the trimmer to skinny them down a little, but they have to be a close fit, you don't want to lose too much bolster.

Thanks for spending all that time searching - made my searching a whole lot easier!!

New players beware!! Warwick has recently made some changes to more easily house the current rash of 6 speed boxes and even the MX-5 seats may be a little on the wide side now. I know mine really only just fit so unmodified MX-5 seats might be quite a squeeze now.
