Is it possible to make MG TF seats tilt as i need access to the rear seats?
Would Rover 200/25/MG ZR 3 door seats still allow rear access?

Any pics of the Subframes people are using / have made?

If you look at the top of the page you can see MG TF seats in mine...All i did was make some angled brackets to line up with the standard mini seat fixings and welded them on the seat runners, then welded some supports to the rear of the runners. They do have an knob to turn to tilt the back forward and the seat also tilts the same as the mini seat would

Cheers mate, looks like a goer then

Fitted MG TF half lether fronts and Alfa GTV leather rears ...The GTV's fit really well, the MG TF's just made brackets to fit the original Mini seat fixings.....They tip forward same as original seats, also backs tilt forward by turing the knob..Plenty of room to get in the back

Hi mate, did the rear seats need much work to fit?

Answered your pm Wayne But no they fit in just right, just had to put a couple of hooks on the rear seat panel and make a level platform for the base
This is how they look now

It looks amazing, I'm afraid I've just bought a set to steal your idea, but I reckon I'll cut up some ply to make my own centre console for them and put something fun in the middle. Any suggestions anyone?

Will all of the recliners tilt forward so rear passengers can get in? and will i be able to use the same seat extensions as i've got at the moment?

Great info on here. Thanks guys. Has anyone tried to fit Mazda Miata seats in a mini (mine is a Mk 1)?

[minidream94]

Evan, you could make some futuristic dash and console combined into one just sit down one night with aload of paper and knock up a few designes which you think would look nice then go ahead and make the one that you like the most

woody, yes mazda miata seats fits, theres a few in this thread, i also made a thread asking about them and iirc the user bean has some in her vtec van that shes building

My Corbeau Carrera seats fit tight and touch the pillars and each other in the middle
but still can be moved forwards and backwards on the runners and also they
just miss the rear bins.

My seats are from a BMW Z3 and fit a treat! Had to make up some brackets to make them fit though.

Hi ya mate!!
Thought i was being unique when i decided to put some BMW Z3 seats in my mini. Been ringing around today looking for someone to weld me a new subframe for them.
Would you have any advice or photos that would help me get them in my mini.

Would appreciate any help you could give me.

Cheers
