Seat frames

[Duane]

Hi cauld anyone tell me if their are any tilting seat basis for aftermarket seats available anywhere thanks

[Steve Phillips]

There's no tilting bases / frames for aftermarket seats that I know off, have you tried a Google search?

But if you fit a modern seat from a 2 door vehicle they will normally have the function of tilt and slide in one action to allow rear seats passengers to get in and out.

Now oddly enough BLATANT PLUG COMING my company makes frames to allow BMW Mini seats to bolt directly into a Minor and accept any BMW mini seat from 2001- 2023.

If you want more information please pm me.

Classic Mini seats have a rear tubular mount similar to a Minor but the front mount attached to the large box section cross member that runs across the floor, so there would need to be some fabrication to modify the frames.

Jeez Duane,
those seats, in a moggie?

[Duane]

I'm hoping to put them in it their quiet small

[moggiethouable]

Oh I am sure they will fit, one way or another.
Forgive me, but they would look ok in an MG TF of 2004 vintage, I just wondered how they would look in a Morris Minor of mid 20th century vintage.
I think its my old fashioned taste, but it is of course your car and we all have different taste.
For my part I even have an adverse affect down my back when I see Newton seats in a Minor.
But, if the intention is to fit a larger engine and modernise the car over all then so be it.
I would by the way, keep the original seats, one day if you sell the car someone will ask if they are included in the sale.
This has been my experience with other vintage motors.

The original seats are ruined that's why I picked theis up all my original seats are all falling apart I'm looking for a black rear seat aswell

[moggiethouable]

Fair enough, but if the frames are good do keep them somewhere, one mans junk is another mans treasure.

Yes ive put the old seats away if anyone can use them they can have them
