Car Forum / MINI / August 2006What seats
Want to replace the standard seat for something more comfortable & supportive, would like to go for something that tilts & slides to make it easier for people to get into the back. Any suggestions? Seats from a late model scrapped mini will fit right in without the need for a seat subframe at extra cost..... > Want to replace the standard seat for something more comfortable & > supportive, would like to go for something that tilts & slides to make it > easier for people to get into the back.

Any suggestions? Metro seats generally need a special subframe to allow them to be bolted to the Mini's cross-member.

Thanks for the info, now I am hunting a pair of Metro seats so I can have a look see...there may be a pair at a bodyshop down the road...I'll keep you guys posted! >>> Metro seats generally need a special subframe to allow them to be >>> bolted to the Mini's cross-member.

Late model Mini seats are based on metro designs but have the Mini base so can be fitted to any Mini, they can be sourced at most mini specialists second hand and are cheaper than new sports buckets plus subframes.... > Would Metro seats be any good? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >>> supportive, would like to go for something that tilts & slides to make >>> it easier for people to get into the back. Any suggestions? Anyone tried Fiat cinquicento sport seats? > Late model Mini seats are based on metro designs but have the Mini base so > can be fitted to any Mini, they can be sourced at most mini specialists [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >>>> supportive, would like to go for something that tilts & slides to make >>>> it easier for people to get into the back. Any suggestions? What about seats from a Ford Ka? > Anyone tried Fiat cinquicento sport seats? > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >>>>> supportive, would like to go for something that tilts & slides to make >>>>> it easier for people to get into the back. Any suggestions? Should be okay, make up your own mounting brackets.... > What about seats from a Ford Ka? > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >>>>>> supportive, would like to go for something that tilts & slides to >>>>>> make it easier for people to get into the back. Any suggestions? Well i've seen lots of nice later model Mini reclining seats on E-Bay, just click in "Mini Seats" under "Car Parts & Vehicles" and away you go. I'm after some good replacements for my Mini, but the only trouble is you generally have to collect the items as their too big and heavy to send via standard post. Taffy > Want to replace the standard seat for something more comfortable & > supportive, would like to go for something that tilts & slides to make it > easier for people to get into the back. Any suggestions? I'm using half leather seats from a Rover Coupe. I made up some mountings for the front to bolt the runners to the Mini mounts and welded some feet on at the rear that bolt through the floor. >Want to replace the standard seat for something more comfortable & >supportive, would like to go for something that tilts & slides to make it >easier for people to get into the back. Any suggestions? i've got seats from an Alfa fits fine and very comfortable !!!

So whenever you have a thought, you laugh. Sounds to me like you are retarded. Managed to get hold of a pair of 'sports ka' black leather seats, tilt, slide, raise & lower, heated etc etc, subframes were easy to fabricate & they fit a treat. I would recommend. Pictures available on request. > Well I just thought.................lol! > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >>>> >>>> fits fine and very comfortable !!! yes please!! can you upload and post a link thanks > Managed to get hold of a pair of 'sports ka' black leather seats, tilt, > slide, raise & lower, heated etc etc, subframes were easy to fabricate & [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >>>>> >>>>> fits fine and very comfortable !!!
