SEATS

[BLUE KEV]

Hi has anyone fitted a set of Ford KA seats to a 4 door Morris and what thoughts do you have as IE fitting original Morris seats or fitting the Ford seats...

[Chris Williams]

I've just bought a 4 door that had KA seats in and i've put the originals back in.It was a very simple looking conversion with just a couple of bolts securing the front down and the rear supported with chocks to get a good driving position.All it was was 2 holes drilled in the chassis and a bolt going through to the undeside held by a nut!As long as it's a 'measure twice drill once' it really is a simple looking conversion.

[Chris Williams]

Mine hasn't got any seatbelts though so I don't know how seatbelts would affect the conversion.

[BLUE KEV]

Thanks Chris I don't suppose you have any pics of them fitted do you?

[Chris Williams]

I'm afraid I havent sorry,I took them out straight away as it came with the original seats recovered using Newton Commercial stuff!

[BLUE KEV]

Ok Chris thanks,was yours a 2 or 4 door.

[Chris Williams]

Mine is a 4 door,but like I say it hasn't got seatbelts fitted and the KA seat rails run very close to the gearbox tunnel,so that is something to watch out for.

[BLUE KEV]

Great can you remember if the lower seat base touched the rear doors or was there clearence.

[Chris Williams]

There was a slight clearance,not much but there's no reason why any of the conversion will catch on anything

[BLUE KEV]

Thanks Chris with all the info you've given me I can now decide which option to use.

If you are intending to use the Morris for regular/ long runs the KA seats will certainly be more supportive and comfy. I'd keep the originals though so you (or a future owner) can swap back.

Thanks Steve yes intend to use it for distance..
