Hi,

I'm new to the forum, and to mini's. I would really like to know if tall people really can fit into a mini comfortbly, i'm 6 foot 2 and i'm worried I might not fit!! Also if i find i don't fit are there any parts or products i can get to extend the reach of the front seats or something...I don't really know where to start to be honest.



Thanks In Advance

Pogo

I'm 6ft4 and fit in mine fine. I have metro seats fitted that have been extended back but I am going to replace them with a set of Spedwell replica classic bucket seats. The reason, becuse they are lower and better fitting.

I am also going to remove the rear companion bins (the bit between the rear seat and rear quarter panel) so that the seats have more room to be adjusted. This is not entirely necessary but I'm fitting a rollcage, so removing them will make it easier. Please note though, that you would need to relocate your front seat belt mounts if you did this too!

Hope this helps

Luke.

aye, www.minispares.com or www.minisport.com should both sell em, pretty sure they're just bolt straight on, doubt you can get them on with a hammer tho so i'd consider it mildly technical

I fitted some to my Cooper in 1964 so
a) They're pretty well tried and tested
b) They're pretty well foolproof to fit

easy to fit take 5mins or soo jus take out 2bolts and line up the bracket and put bolts back in and done! simple seats go back further

Thanks again, but unfortunately i'm a bit special when it comes to this stuff... Are there any picture tutorials or in-depth step-by-steps or something??

Sorry i'm so annoying, but i'm just enthusiastic i guess
