Seats etc

Post by Ondergard »

I know seats from a Rover 200 will fit in the front of a 2 door Minor (albeit with new subframes) but does anyone know if the back seat of a Rover 200 will fit in the Morris 2 door?

Not easily.
The Rover seats are not dissimilar in overall size but they are shaped quite differently. They have a foam core supported by a metal frame that also provides support and position for the cover seams. The covers would need to be removed, the frame trimmed or reshaped and the foam trimmed too. Then the covers would require trimming and restitching. Given that the underside of the seatbase is different too then they would need reshaping there too to provide good support and position against the Minoor floorpan and seatbase. Far better, I would suggest, to get a servicable Minor back seat and attempt to use the Rover seat covers - re-stitched to suit.
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.
