I don't think they share the same mounts, but I may be wrong.

I have the rope tired style seats in my moke.
They fix in using 4 bolts.

I presume the later tomb stones would be the same.

I understand the Moke seats are narrower than Mini seats so, yes, with some fabricated seat mounts they would fit.

The opposite is not true. Because the Mini tombstone seats are wider than the Moke tombstone seats they physically won't fit in a Moke.

Clean Moke tombstone seats are hard to find. Maybe sell or swap them for Mini seats?
