You're perfectly correct, MGF seats don't tilt, so are no use in a 2 door, unless you do what I did and remove the back seat! I didn't realize they wouldn't tilt till after i'd fitted them either. If you don't want to do this, find some seats that do tilt, like the almost identitical MG ZR 2 door models. It's really not worth messing with seats to make them do something they aren't designed for.
Or I have a pair of 1/2 alcantara 2 door BMW seats (which DO tilt) lying around doing not much ATM, if you're interested. They are mainly electric and therefore not light, but they are fairly narrow and the switchgear is all on the seat itself, so should only be a live and earth needed to make them work.
PS, the seats in your car are, I think, Corbeau replica 50s buckets, I'm not fond of them either, but shorter folk find them comfortable, or so i'm told.
