The Elise seats will definitely fit in the Europa with plenty of room. While I had the seats out of my Elise, I decided to do a fit test of the seats in the Europa. As can be seen in the photo, the Elise seats are a little bit narrower, quite a bit taller and a bit less reclined. Somehow they don't quite look right in the Europa. As Brian stated, they ain't cheap. All the ones I've seen for sale were asking close to $1000/ pair. If you can find a pair really cheap locally, might be worth looking into.

I have a pair of TC seats sitting on my storage shelf that I will sell but shipping costs may be a bit more than what you may want to spend. The other option is a bolt together TC seat system that someone was selling a few years back. I don't plan on using it and may put it up for sale. RDEnt was selling the same seats a couple of years ago, no longer on their website.

I think Steve is selling the seatbelt anchor plates that go under the door.

Steve, I'm a bit confused about what you are referring to. Your picture shows a plate. The seat belt brackets I'm thinking of are the photos attached.

IFF you do it right, you can grind off just enough that the remaining washer bit serves as the stop. I went too far, of course. I could add a stop. But I do like having the window as low as possible. But the window breaking through the bottom of the door is sub-optimal.

I would think your could make your own measurements though you may need to extrapolate a bit.

I’m no expert in adjusting doors, as mine would attest, but working alone, I used a floor jack to prop up the door between adjustments. For fine adjustments, I wrapped a dead blow hammer with a towel and while the hinge was loosely snugged, I would hit the door to make the adjustment. Did you look at any of the trunk monkey videos? They’re really funny!

When you grind those stop washers, you need to make a new stop. I think there’s a thread here somewhere about a guy who did this. I don’t remember specifically but I don’t think that bending the window tracks was required.

Next question: I cut the stop washers that keep the windows from going down very far. But now the windows are in danger of breaking through the bottom of the door. Has anyone bent the curved window tracks to give more clearance? And if so, how? I'm thinking of cutting a tighter curve through a 2x4, then clamping it to each of the lower legs of the track to increase their curvature slightly. It doesn't need much.
