Seat measurement

Post by indian301 »

I am the proud owner of a 1952 MM convertible. When I purchased the car it did not have any front seats. I need the height of the seat from where you sit your bum to the floor. I have made many modifications to the the car and I plan to use a modern set of seats. Any suggestions?


Thanks, Dave

Modern seats sit on adjuster racks so you will need seat adapter bases to fit new seats.
The Series MM seats are the most comfortable seats of any Minor, why change them?[frame]Image[/frame]

As I stated in my request, my car did not have any seats when I bought it.

Seat mounted on adapter frame. Note square section aluminium tube to raise the seat an extra inch. Also front of frame is handy for mounting a fire extinguisher.
