Looking to add a passenger seat and belts to my 1990 SSM Miata. Looking for seat and belts that can be installed without a lot of modifications. Will also need any hardware to attach seat and belts.

I have one of these (well, actually I ave two, but one will be going into my own Miata, so we can probably swap notes on how to best install it there): http://www.jazproducts.com/poly_bucket_seats.html

Mine comes with a cover as well.

i installed one into my 944 because of the passenger seat rules most clubs have .
if your looking to have some one sit in it when on the track forget it they are not in any way made for road course use !
don't thing the belts will hold you in place they don't .
other then being dirt cheap there is nothing good about them . the covers fit like crap and it's better with them off if you want some one to ride along with you .
if your thinking of putting your instructor in the seat he will hate you for it !
they are not a safe seat at all the rules state you have to have the same for your instructor as you have for the driver in safety gear . the rules may not state seats but seats are in fact part of any safety gear . i'm sure Will M. will say it's ok but you might want to ask him 1st about it because with out a back brace on the seat it will float around ( it's plastic ) .

as for mounting the seats it ez you need to build a simple mount to bolt to the seat base to the 4 nuts on the under side then it bolts to the 4 mounting points from the old seat .
the down side in a miata is the broom stick rule . any one over 5' 10" will not fit and pass the test with that seat as the base it quight thick .
you should find your self a spec miata seat . yes they cost more but when your finished with it sell it they sell fast and you should not lose any money when you sell it off . it's a safe seat and your passenger will love you for taking there safety in mind as you should !

You forget one important thing (and the reason I've bought them). They are _light_. That's the whole point.

I'm an autocross guy and mine is a CSP car. The only requirement for us - "full sized and fully upholstered" passenger seat. these are dirt cheap, lighter than stock, pretty easy to mount and fit that bill. it also discourages potential passengers Can't speak for SSM car and, yes, the rule book should be consulted first. But for $50 or even with the cover that I'm looking to get... did I mention cheap?

my hole point to what i'm saying is there only to get you by the passenger seat rule that's why i put one in my 944 .
it's lighter than a petty bar would be and easier to install then one but that's about it for the good about them .

I guess I should have been more clear about what I was looking for. I currently have a Kirkey drivers seat and I am looking for a used aluminum seat "Ultrashield or Kirkey seat or something similar and a set of in spec belts that I can fit-up my Miata with for the upcoming NHMS event.

Thanks Tom
In Manchester. NH

check out racingjunk.com . i bought a used aluminum seat from a guy off that site last year for a customers miata . the padding was a little beet up but the seat with the shipping was cheap at 160 dollars .

I have a ultra shield I'm willing to part with it's a 17" 20 degree lay back.

Ok great. What model is it?
