They look like they were home covered and the cramps on the bottom around the edge crimpsSiri I said crimps or sell fashioned by someone to get a pretty good job because the seat looks nice and probably a little wide though and not as ‘buckety’ as one would want

Most ...or at least “a lot” of aftermarket seats are bolted to the original Mini mounts.

cheers, Ian

I suggest you hop over to the Mk1 Performance Conversions web site and post your question there.

If they’re at all comfortable swapping for the (pain in the b$&t) originals would be the last thing I’d be contemplating..... however, its your back ??

cheers, Ian

Wondering if anyone can identify the seats that someone installed in my Mini years ago. They're unique in that the headrest tilts forward to release the latches for the seat track. I'd hoping to ID them so I can get them to someone who can use them and earn a little cash to buy proper MK1 seats.
