Morris_Mad Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Hi All, As I've previosly mentioned I've recently bought a 1971 mk3 spitfire, here she is:Anyway It's got some weird non original seats fitted, which aren't very comfy for my 6ft frame and don't look very nice either. Needless to say I'm looking to replace them with some spitty seats, however after messaging the usual breakers it seems hard to get hold of a pair. I don't suppose anyone on here may have something ? be it mk3, mk4 or even 1500 ? I'm looking mainly for the frames so I can recover them myself.Cheers,Willl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensH Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 have you tried phone Spitfire Graveyard, jigsaw or/and Quiller Triumph? They should be able to sort you out, if you want to stay with the original mk 3 seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
