Any help is appriciated, pictures would be great if anyone has any?

yes you will need to fabricate a subframe to make the front seats fit. as for the rear seats dont even bother. just get the standard rear seats re-trimmed to suit the front ones.

have a look at my project thread, reover 220 coupe seats, quite easy realy, I didnt need a full subframe, but it depends on how tall you are.

If anyone else is looking to do this, I've got a nice pair of half leather Rover 220 Tomcat seats up for grabs.

I was going to go down this route myself, but ended up buying Cooperkid's old interior instead.

Anyone fancy them?

Hi,

Here's a picture of them before they were taken out of a '96 220 Turbo. They're very comfy and have the levers to fold and slide them forward for access to the back seats.

I was thinking about £70 - any takers?

Cheers,

Paul

Effort to fit. Either Tight on the b pillars or tight near the handbrake and it is much harder to get in the back.

I've fitted them, but I'm super handy with a welder and have made some unique brackets that make them fit.

I fitted some MGF seats in mine last week

Posted Image

Not sure if they are the same underneath, but check my project pages which may give you some pointers

Good luck

Steve
