While this was already my plan, I realised I'm not sure what you measure. Do you just go widest part of the seat and height, and make sure the seat is no wider then half the interior space? Just work on the assumption you can fabricate up a bracket to make the rest work? Or is there seat rail / frame size limits I should consider, too?

Anyone heard of or tried fitting 90's Subaru Liberty seats?

nup, but assuming these are the seats you're going to look at on the weekend, when you get there, take the seats out of the mini and put the subaru seats in there - best way to tell if they're going to fit or not is to actually put them in

Good idea. I better remember to take the tools.

should be just the wingnuts - thats the reason they used them from the factory, so it takes all of 20 seconds to take the front seats out

Seems someone replaced my wingnuts with normal nuts and bolts.

WHAT! modified seating mounts......defective vehicle! You better rush out and buy some cheesey die cast wing nuts....just like the originals.

Actually the original ones would be hard to find, most fell off and ended up in the Hoover, or fell out through rust hole in floor.

Count yourself lucky - on my first mini someone welded the bottom bracket dealie (technical term) to the floor. It was awesome when I went to redo the body work and discovered that I couldn't get my seats out.

Off topic i know , ( sorry Howey ) but i remember the first time i ever drove to Sydney in my MK 1 ,
a mate and myself went to Liverpool Speedway , we had nothing to sit on , so back to the car , off
with the 4 wingnuts , out with the bolts and carried the front seats up the hill and sat there for the night watching the racing , got some looks thats for sure , .

I have a mate that has MX5 ( i think , will check ) seats in one of his roundies , they look good and are very comfy .

Try and get the model/year of MX5 which the seats are from too

I blame my dad for my love of minis. I think I was conceived in the back seat of one
I also blame my Dad for me being 6' 1" - not really the optimum height for driving a Mini.

As said above, mx5 seats are comfy but they are not from a car with back seats so the rails aren't designed to let them go all the way forward so you can access the back.

If that isn't a problem and you want to try ALL series of Mx5 seats and rx8 seats go to Automotive Plus in Zillmere rd Aspley. They have stock under cover on the shelf.

Just a quick question..

Anyone had Pro-Car Classic seats before ? (in their mini or otherwise)

Oh this is an old thread... I now have seats that I'm happy with, but saw these and thought I'd ask the question.
