MG Monaco's

are these out of the zr or a zt as im looking at some and didnt know if they where the same seats in both any help appreciated thanks

I would imagine they will be out of a ZR, i know mine are anyway. Therefore the seats will tilt forward. The ZT seats are slightly wider IIRC, and won't tilt forward as the ZT is a 5 door.

cheers mate i have been looking on ebay there is loads of zs/zt seats not too far from me but cant find any zr seats the fact that they dont tilt forward doesnt bother me as i dont have back seats but its just the extra wideness that probably wont fit cheers for that

My Mini has seats from a Rover 100/Metro whatever you want to call it

I also installed BMW MINI seats in my MK1. I did like the Newton Commercial seats that a friend of mine put in his restored OZ MK1, but they are a bit on the expensive side. These cost me a little of 100£ and the parts I didn't use I sold.

In order to get the seat at the correct height for myself I did without the seat sliders, however the rear of the seats do go up and down and they do tilt forward. As stated previously, these are very comfortable. What's really funny is the only seat mounts I had were old Restal mounts, problably worth more than the seats

Hi

I need seats that will go all the way back to the rear seats and miss the rear pockets, I like the rear pockets so would like to keep them.

Does anyone know any that are narrow enough, please recommend any at this stage.

Pat,

Your seats look like a really neat fit. Do you still have enough room to operate the handbrake and get into reverse gear?

Yes, plenty of room for both. The plastic front 'valence' on the seats were trimmed in order to get the seat frame down on the cross member. I like to sit as low as possible in the Mini.

MG F / MG TF seats work, tho i believe there is no folding mechanism as they are rested against the rear of the car.

Would Ford KA seats fit ??

[Rover_Mini_Cooper]

i like the cobra clubman, and that kind of style, but for 2 seats and a subframe its around 350pounds.

was lookin into a pair of MG ZR (3 door) seats.. been to the local breakers and had a look, not much right now but still looking.

does anyone have anything like this as i'd love to see the frame you've put it on so i know how much work will be involved.

.. a nice way of asking for pictures of seat frames from different people (as theres loads of the seats but none of how there attached )

Iv just been looking at seats on Huddersfield mini spares website.

Here is another vote for MG ZR seats although I did remove the height adjuster as it made them sit too high in the car.I cut 25mm solid bar 25mm long and welded them onto 50 mm square plates.I then drilled and tapped a 10mm whole down through the bar and welded the plates onto the back floor.I welded a bar across the runners and drilled two 10.5 holes that lined up with the plates so that I could fix the rear of the seat to them and made up brackets to pick up the cross member mounting points.I had Tomcat seats in my RSP and these are every bit as comfortable.


I also got the rear seat covered in rear MG seat as well.
