Just thought i'd take this opertunity to show off my seats HEHE. They are out of a Alfa 156 if anyone else is intrested in doing it. Let me know what you all think of them i'm inlove with them ha. They are so comfortable compared to the standard mini seat.

Well at the front of the seat where the handbrake is situated space isnt amazing there will be about 8cm gap at the least and perhaps a 14cm gap at the most. But i can measure if you are generally truely intrested in percise measurements.

They are extremly comfortable arent they. Leather isnt all that good though. They can be slippery sometimes and on a hot day it like your on a radiator ha.

They look great. The same seats i had in my 156, i really liked them! I would be interested in pics of the subframes and how you mounted them. What is the access to the back like? do you have tilting sub frames?

I havnt finished the subframes as such yet. But currently am using a metal bar which attaches to the orignal mounts for the seats and the back is just set up on wood ha. But i am going to solid mount the back with something like a extra crossmember ? or something like that.

In all honesty its not a problem to get people in the back but by the time you have the seat in a comfortable possition etc there is very limited room in the back so i just say no to passengers in the back ha. I dont have tilting subframes unfortionally but i do plan to make some :)

Hope that answerd your question and i will post up some pictures when i have the time to get some :(

Nah the heater is still fully functional. There is absolutly no mods to the heater. Have a guess and if you cant i will perhaps take some photo's to show you's ;)
