hey guys and girls.

just wondering how hard it is to fit up some more comfortable seats into my 62 850 without having to do any permanant modifications?

cheers josh

Hi Josh, most of the later mini seats will fit (up to late clubby) if you want to stay sort of original, otherwise there'll be a few posts along in a moment with other suggestions.

I've just put up a post about 850 trim as it's now quite hard to find. If you have orginal seats and are changing them please don't throw them away, there will be others out there who would be keen to get hold of the fabric at least.

cheers

Kevan

i agree with rehab. if you don't want to do any modifications at all, the later clubman seats a good. i recently put a high back seat from a Leyland Mini S in my 850 that i use around home. i personally think it's a good improvement, but the seats that were in it were pretty poor! The high back seats are also alot safer for your neck in case of an accident, however it may make rear seat access a little more difficult!

Unforunately alot of the topics regarding replacement seats have disappeared from mini chat, so hopefully some people will be able to help regarding mods needed. i'm putting mazda seats in my current 850 resto project, but it's with a few permanent mods so not really of any use to you
