rodt Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Now that Daisy is in use 3-4 days a week including my commute to work, I am concious of the low back rest.Having experienced whiplash injuries during my career as a Driving Examiner, I am very reluctant to have that again.Is there a simple (and preferably cheap!) way of changing the seat or the backrest or of getting some form of accessory head restraint?

Clive Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Ahem. Fit a better seat. Rover 45 sem to fit (even the rears) and do turn up in levver.I have fitted MGF front seats, £10 a pair. Need to weld bracket extensions to avoid drilling new holes, but very comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partsaver Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Dolomite is the obvious route, the non HL (narrower) will fit with the same bolt holes being used, the HL seats will need a couple of extra holes drilled due to the width but its an easy job.

So, the hunt starts for some non-HL Dolomite seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toledo Man Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Justyn, the holes should be there. I fitted Sprint seats in my Dolomite 1300 and I sold a set of 1500fwd seats to a Toledo owner which were the wider type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodt Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Checking out eBay for Toledo/Dolomite seats and got this:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Armitage-shanks-Dolomite-Toilet-seat-Maple-effect-S4051PL-/200778777944?pt=UK_Homes_Gardens_Bathrooms_Toilet_Seats_PP&hash=item2ebf590558Might be more comfortable than my current sagging drivers' seat but maybe not so practical?

Nobleox_Toledo Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yup the holes are there to fit Dolly seats, second row of holes spaced wider apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost out on a set on eBay that went well out of budget so still looking. At least having the Dolomite option gives me a wider range to look at.
