beanpoleuk Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 The front seats are very very tatty and torn in my 1250 , can't seem to find any reasonably cheap used ones ebay. What alternative car seats are easy to fit ?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustbuckit2011 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Mgf and mx5 seem to be the most popular. I have mgf's for mine. If you search on here, you should be able to find plenty of info on fitting either.Sorry , link no longer available Theres a link to start you off, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody47uk Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Have MX5 seats in mine. Tried MGF seats but they are too wide to go far enough back (I'm 6ft 4in tall!). However, I think the MGF seats are more comfortable than MX5, if you can get them in. Cheers, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustbuckit2011 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Dave, is yours a convertible? (*edit- just read its a mk2 saloon)Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmetalhead82 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Im 5ft 8in and have MGF seats in a 1200 , they have to be as far back as they will go for me to be comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody47uk Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hi Rustbuckit. Problem with MGF seats is even worse on a convertible! Dave (oldmetalhead82) knows, cos I sold him my MGF seats! He's a bit smaller than me. Cheers, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty71 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I had fitted the America TR6 seats, but modified the herald seat rails to fit. the TR seats are longer, so added 6" of 3mm box cut to shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Cook Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Ford StreetKa have leather seats that are very comfortable, these are on ebay for £75 the pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Quoted from Don Cook Ford StreetKa have leather seats that are very comfortable, these are on ebay for £75 the pair. Not sure they'd fit. I put some in my van - added bonus of being heated as well.They cost me £40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktheherald Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I put Saab 900 seats in the estate. Bit of a faff to fit, but v comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Putting Impreza seats in the Lemon for RBRR all being well, but too wide for a Herald type car.The most commonly fitted at MX5 I think, However, just go round a scrappy with a tape measure and see what's what. Finding ones with flat mounts would be helpful. To mount the Subaru seats I cut off the OEM mounts from the runners and will weld new mount plates on which will bolt onto the original 2000 bolt holes.
