I've got a pair for my MK2 Cooper S but im yet to fit them, but they seem like fairly good qaulity seats, they fit well & seem well made, but time will tell.

Careful about Rego. You will need them engineered in some states ACT & NSW Don't know about others. Most engineers are hezitant to sign off on Non SDR seats. Go to the Dotars website or consult an engineer before you buy them

That frame looks of good quality, Gadgets.
You've done well.

Did you cut the crap out of an old Mini seat to get the curves for the back 'legs'? :lol:

yep the back tubes are from the old seat so i could use the Mini seat rail to keep the original mounting points

original mounting points used at the front as well
used 75 x 6mm flat bar for the main frame


Oi Gaf are you saying my arse looks big in the seat :shock:
