I looked at the Cobra subframes, they look good but they are pretty expensive

I'm looking at installing new seats in the front of my mark 1 mini, I'm looking at these: http://www.autotecnica.com.au/product/c ... eats-pair/ Has anyone installed Autotecnica seats in their mini? Did you have any problems? I have tilt mechanisms for the seats, am I better off using clubman seat bases and slide mechanisms? |

If by clubman you mean mini clubman, then no, mini seats can't be separated from their bases/slides like newer cars you're best off looking at what seat subframes are available from autotechnica and mounting those in the mini, preferably using the original mounting points |

I put autotechnica seats onto Cobra seat subframes, it wasn't too hard. They are in Laingy's Clubby van. Nice seats. |

I have autotechnicas in both my cars (87 rover and 68 deluxe) on slightly modified cobra seat frames. Pretty easy.

I like their low back seat, but can't seem to find a price for it on their site. |

I'm keen to see what the high back seats are like for width when installed, the seat I have in my car is too wide and rubs on the B pillar, but I can't move it any further towards the passenger side - very annoying slide wrote: I like their low back seat, but can't seem to find a price for it on their site. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Autotecnica- ... 1685809358 I'm not keen on low back 'sports' seats, if you're going to put a non-standard seat in, put something in that'll give you some shoulder and neck support |

I'm looking at these seat bases: http://minisport.com.au/mini-left-hand- ... easy-slide They are pretty expensive, is there anywhere else in Australia that sells universal seat bases to suit a mini? |

It seems that's the going rate for these. They are a quality base. You get what you pay for http://www.revolutionracegear.com.au/in ... UID=289836 |

The only downside to them is rear seat access , the tops of the seats when rolled forward touch the roof , i can live with that , They are a fairly snug fit though . |
