Early in 1968, the US authorities changed the law on seats, in that from January 1969, all new cars had to have headrests incorporated in the seat. This left manufacturers with little time to re-engineer their seats, so Triumph literally welded on new tops to their current low back seats turning them into high back…
A new design of seat was introduced for the 1970 model year. It was based on the UK seats, but with the addition of a fixed high back style headrest with the reclining seat. The new design incorporated vertical flutes in the seat centres but is not perforated unlike its black vinyl counterpart. Pictured is…
This was the first design used on the Spitfire range with this very distinctive emboss in the vinyl. The design and hardboard are of original Factory specification. Please note that colours listed are those that were used in the original manufacture of the vehicle. We do, however, have a number of other colours which are…
This was the very first style of seat in the Spitfire range. The seat has a metal bucket shape squab frame and the base frame has a cushion spring assembly. The spring frames are no longer available, so repairs may need to be made. This is a relatively simple seat and fitting once repairs are…
This pad is made from a composition of rubberised horse hair and is very tough. The pad is glued to the squab frame and then needs to be trimmed to follow the outer edge of the frame. The white wadding material is then layed over this edge and basically softens the edge of the hair…
This seat design was used for nearly 6 years whereas other design features in the trim were changed. Interestingly, all seat colours had white piping except for light tan-nobody has ever been able to explain why!. When refitting these covers, check the seat frame carefully as they do tend to break. This seat kit is…
We highly recommend looking at the fitting instructions before starting to fit these foams. Original foams for these seats had a combination of moulded chip foam around the squab frame and various other softer foams elsewhere. These will all have probably disintgrated by now and will need to be completely replaced. This kit is a…
In late 1968, the USA seat regulations specified that all front seats in cars should have headrests as standard. This regulation caught the British motor industry by surprise and they had to quickly adapt previous seats to meet these new regulations. On some cars they just added a headrest design to earlier seats, consequently some…
We believe that this particular seat was only available for a short time before regulations for headrests came into being in the USA market in 1969. As can be seen, the flutes on the covers were of a horizontal design and the seat did have a reclining mechanism. If your seat covers are original and…

Original foams for these seats had a combination of moulded chip foam around the squab frame and various other softer foams elsewhere. These will all have probably disintegrated by now and will need to be completely replaced. These foams are sold per seat.
Rubber seat straps that are now over thirty years old will probably have perished and should be renewed with any seat refurbishment-the new straps can be expected to bear a high degree of tension which new, firmer foams and seat covers as well. Our kit includes the correct size length of strap, but these pirelli…
A totally new seat frame design and seat foams was introduced in 1970. Whereas previous seats were of the Bucket seat design, this model was developed to give a totally different shape. The seat covers had vertical sewn flutes in the seat centres. The seat was of the fixed sort and did not recline or…
