You will need seat adapter bases, most of the small - med Rover seats will fit

I believe Charles Ware used to do them for the Metro seats - don't know if they still make them. Worth a call. If you know a welder they can be made quite cheaply to fit whatever seat you buy as they have to fit the Minor curved floor pan.

Not sure, lists a couple, and by the design I'd say very easy to fit anything.. But worth ringing up to check :)

As said above though, if you can weld, its much much cheaper to make your own..
