Cheers. Not a bolt in fit but my fabricator cut off mg lugs and welded some box section and lugs to suit. Nice to sit in and I don't fall out when going round corners lol

I fitted MGF seats years ago, and can confirm they are excellent. Very supportive and way way better when I was doing 12 car rallies etc. Plus mine were a tenner off ebay :D

I also swapped the sides of the seats, so I now sit in what was the passenger seat. I think because the original drivers seat had more wear, but not a lot. Maybe the way the adjuster fitted too?? My memory fades on that detail.
IIRC all I did was weld some plates to the edge of the runners and drilled holes to match the old fixing points, really simple.

Sounds even more like a good plan :)
