2 door v 4door front seats?

Post by C.J. »

Will a pair of front seats out of 4 door model (1961) fit as a straight swap into a 2 door version, and will they still tilt forward to enable access into the back?

They will fit straight in - no problem. The only difference is that the passenger seat will not fold in half but this will not seriously restrict entry to the back.

Absolutely chuffed.
Just won an ebay auction for the 2 1961 front seats for my 1961 Moggy! :P

Just need recolouring and then I can sell it unfortunately.
This has been the missing link for months, as I wanted to keep it as original as possible.

Is there a market for the two bladdered seats I wonder. Both need a full recovering, and I assume the straps and stuffing are knackered too, or do I simply fling them onto the council tip skip?
