Morris Minor Owners Club

Hey all I'm looking to put modern seating in to my 100 2 door. Are there any good recommendations for both front and rear replacements as it seems most suggested aren't suitable for the rear seat. Thanks!!

If you have plenty of money then you can buy a set of Newton Commercial seats with matching upholstery. Whatever you buy you will need a pair of front seat adapter frames which may be the most expensive parts.

Austin Metro seats were a popular upgrade and I seem to remember reading that they are a direct fit.

volvo 340 seats are good as are saab seats .

Do you still have your Saab Dale?

yes lou i have 15 years old 105000 miles origional exhaust wont get rid of it its a very good car still

Bit like my Volvo 16 years old 140,000 on the clock.

Cool thanks guys!, Not that rich to get the newton ones, maybe at a later date more concerned for a head rest than anything, as well as a good fit

If you can find one Rover 100 seats fit as do the Metro, and Saab 9000. All will need to have a subframe made which will fit the Minors floorpan. Ford Ka seats have also been used (see link below) which may be easier to get these days

Thanks for that post, details the subframe nicely. Seems they did that themselves lol! Might have to learn how to weld... *gets flashdance costume on*

Loads of posters on this site have bought a car and then taught themselves to weld. Advice on welders (purchase of) right through to how to do it completely free here!

There may be someone on this forum who lives near to you to show you the basic ropes.

yeah been looking in to that. Would vw lupo seats fit?? seen a reasonable ebay auction but not 100% its a small 3 door...

So long as the seats are small enough to work seats belts etc and allow room for the handbrake to operate, and not too high for the subframe underneath (so you can get your legs under the steering wheel.

if you would like me to drop you a copy of the custom and modified newsletter on alternate seats please drop me a PM with your email address and i can send you a copy

many thanks I would like a copy of the news letter

I have made a post but what about MGF seats?

Chris Lack

the mgf seats from a mk1 look like they should fit but with out the ability to tilt forward might not suit 2 doors / travellers[frame][/frame]

MGF seats fitted to my A30.

look very nice...
always fancied one myself
