Hi,

If i put bucket seats in my mini, will the the seats still move forward to get people in the back? or will i have to something to do that.

Cheers

Depends which seats. Most foul before tipping forward enough to allow access to the back.

[purple_fly06]

Oh right, i will do some research into that then, but they will still tip then?

[blue blood]

unless you have more classic style bucket seat like mine (omp silverstone classics) or classic cobra buckets. Regards Blue

[purple_fly06]

So they will just bolt on to the old 'rails' where the old seats used to be?

really depends which bucket seats, you can get the seat subframe so the seat will tilt foreward but depending how tall your seats are it might not have enough height

My mini had cobra classic bucket seats and there was only just enough room for somebody to squeeze into the back.

I will have to go and look at some seats and get some measurements.

I have these - http://www.minisport...bman_Seats.html - in my mini on the supplied subframes and they go forward sufficiently to get into the back... The whole seat goes forward allowing just as much access as the standard seats and frames.

Hello, i haven't long bought my own mini and i am interested in putting bucket seats into it. I like http://www.minispare...=20&prod_id=169 seats but i am curious on how you can fit these into the car when there is like a box part under where i have the original seats now can any of you help me please ?

I put Honda Civic buckets into my '93 spi using a pair of seat frames from Minisport. Had to do some tweaking but in the end they fit and flip forward enough to get in the back. Still working on extending the pull lever for the flip forward release as it's quite short on these particular frames.

hi camuk7 i have the cloth version of them seats the subframes bolt into the same place the original mini seat does on the cross member i love my seats it means i can drive comfortablly at 6ft 2 however be aware they do tilt forward but hit the rood quick so you can only get thin people in the back at a squeeze and the seats themselves will be a tight fit if you are a larger gentlemen no offence intended thanks ross
