They'll fit, but you'll have to make up brackets to mount them, they're different underneath. You'd be better off with Mini seats which are more common, cheaper and will bolt straight in.

one question....


why? :lol:

they are not the most comfortable of seats... they look kinda shite.... and the fact that you can fit almost any pair of seats from a small hatchback which are nicer to look at and superior in comfort takes me back to the why?

I think the Mobby (the Moke-Clubby) has been done already

Apart from the trim, The main difference (not The only Diff but the major diff ) between 1977-1978 Clubman seats and the late moke seat is the clubman seat is wider

A choke seat looks like any old 90s Jap car seat. Not much conceptual difference between it and an MX5 seat.
