Morris Minor Owners Club

Can someone help me out here.
I have a 1958 2 door saloon that I am updating the interior.
I got new seat covers for the front from Newton Comm which were great and fitted perfectly.
I then got the covers for the back seat and the shape does not match frame.
It would appear that the back seat is from a later model.
Does anyone have a photo of a 1958 back seat so that I can see where the problem lies?
Newton Comm are sure that they made the covers for the correct year and model.... but I want to be sure before I try and locate a replacement frame..... (does anyone have an old 1958 2door back seat spare?)[frame][/frame][frame][/frame]

The 1958 seat shape is different to the later ones, they have a curved edge to match the rear interior panels, the later cars had a different system, I know because I have an early seat with the later trim panels and there is an unsightly gap on my '58

Hi Chesney
Many thanks for the reply.... Do you have any photos of the '58 back seat?
Regards Stuart

I haven't ignored you, I'm just charging the battery on the camera so I can get some piccys. Will post tomorrow, I have a set of early and late seats so will try and get a comparison.

These are from a 1960 2door saloon, but will be the same shape as the earlier one's, just a different style of cover [frame][/frame]

Sorry I'm late
Here's a later seat, you can see the difference in the edges..

Looks like Newton have used the wrong pattern.

Many thanks for the photos.
Dear WPR 678B.... I don't suppose you are willing to part with that 60's back seat are you???
It seems to match my new covers perfectly!
Regards Stuart

Picture as per the PM sent [frame][/frame]

I think in one of my sheds I have a seat base of this era , ( but it will take some time to find ) , I am removing the covers for use in making new front seat covers so could be avalible.

Thank you to everyone who have posted replies.
I have sourced a back seat frame ...... Thanks Carlo.
Will share pictures when recovered
