I've been playing with my old seats recently. I've removed the straps, stuffed the seat with old pillow filling and then used a square carpet tile on the base, above the straps.
Works really well. The old Minor seat is now more comfortable than my Metro seats - however I just know its not going to be as good for my back and all that. At around 12k miles a year I'm not sure whether to try it... :-?
What would Macgyver do..?

You'll go blind :lol: :lol:

Why not do the job properlry, it's certainly cheap enough to buy the straps and very easy to fit :roll: certainly a lot more comfortable..

I think you will find they are Newton Commercial seats that are metro based I have a pair but without the headrests are they are comfy.
