This doesn't exactly answer your question, but by strange coincidence I was reading the March issue of Popular Mechanics (yes, really...

), and I came across this:

What you really need is someone with upholstry experience. Should be do-able, I'd think. You're not the first to ask about this. I seem to recall Ralph Button trying to get this all figured out last year...

Hope this helps.

Try a search useing "Olli" / seat heaters. I've seen Olli's car which has them installed. I think they are $150 ( single temp.) plus the installation charge. Very nice setup - a heated butt and back what more could you ask for. Chris

OK, I just found the web site that sells the seat heaters your looking for WWW.Duettomotors.com , click on Miata parts, then look under Electrical sub title. Go to seat heaters and your set. Chris

Good luck,the staples don't go through the fiberglass well at all,I had an upholstery shop install mine.

I made seat platforms for a place to put the controler unit in.
