Seats from a Rover 45

Post by **leafie** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 11:52 am

Hi all,

Has anybody tried to fit the front seats from a Rover 45 to a Minor? Seen a few sets on ebay and am wondering if they are a possibility.

I would have though they were a little wide, but its got to be worth an email to one of the sellers for the dimensions to see if its practical.

I've always rather fancied a front bench seat.

but how would that work with the gear-leaver and hand brake eh?

Sounds like you need a Land Rover

As promised

Dimensions are
length of base 570mm
max width base 520mm
max width back 480mm

there is more than enough room to allow easy access to gearstick, handbrake and seatbelts.

If rear access wasn't a problem I would to try this out.

The same way it did with all the LCVs in Australia, which were fitted with them
