Battery on camera has died, will upload some piccies when it's charged (can't upload and charge battery at the same time....typical!)

Recently fitted them to my Mini but it wasn't quite as simple as I thought.

You won't get away with fitting normal mini seat subframes to the underside of the Porsche seats, as the spacing of the right and left runners is too wide.

To solve this problem I bought some angle iron/steel (whatever they call it these days) and welded on some small pieces to fit into the original seat brackets (the bits bolted to the cross member).

This however leaves you with the issue of the back of the seat base!

This was solved by making up a support bracket by bending the metal into a square 'U' shape. By doing this you avoid the seat holder-inner bar thing (can you tell i'm not the most technically minded person?).

I'll upload the piccies tomorrow, or i'll send them by PM, drop me a message and i'll send them across.

chears. i thourght about moving the front mounts on top of the box section. weld them on, or like you use big angle iron to go in the front mounts and for the rear i thought about useing box section bolted on the seats and this will sit on the floor. i just had a good idea while writiing this. for the front i could use a bit of plate and bolt it across the front of the sliders and use some angle pieces weld them in the correct place so they can go in the standard front mounts on the crossmember

that should work.

i give it a go and see what happens
