Just wondering if any of the door cards/seats from a 1956 2 door minor will fit a 1965 traveller?Need a sharpish answer if you'd be so kind?Thanks,Lee.

Front seats and door cards will probably fit but will be incorrect. Nothing else will be any use and the colours/materials will be different to those in your car too of course so it isn't a great deal of good for your purposes sadly :(

When you say 'incorrect' for the door cards do you mean the pattern on them will be incorrect,im not too fussed at the moment for period correctness,will the cards be the same as far as hole placement for winder etc?

So far as I can see , the interior front door cards and front seats for 1000 series minors are interchangeable with no difference in securing locations or other apertures. Tilting and/or adjustable seats may be fitted as you wish depending on usability or originallity levels sought.

I think the door-pull chrome fittings are wider and the screw holes will not line up with the holes in the metalwork of your 65 door. If you can wait till tonight, I'll check the hole spacing on my '51 and '56 cars (the '56 has the same door pull as the '60s ones).
