alternative front seats...who got what?

[tamtrucks]

hi all
looking to upgrade my front seats,anyone got any ideas on which ones
thanks for now...nic

Frankly in my opinion MGF seats are the ones to go for.

Supportive, comfortable and relatively easy to fit.

I fitted them to RUK (Binny) and both Sam and Steve (Carledo) have improved on my design so they fit better. I expect that they can both elaborate!

I went with Saab 9-3 seats, i used the dolomite seat runners on the Saab seat[

What James said about MGF seats^^^^^^^^^

Also goes for the almost identical seats from MGZR. This car also has a 2 door variant with tilting seats for 2 door Toledos! MGF seats DON'T actually tilt!

I've also personally fitted MkVI Escort seats (bit of a faff and need reversing left for right and vice versa) and a Corbeau racing seat (hard but very supportive) I've seen used, seats from Alfa 156, Renault 19, Rover 45 (mount a bit high for my 6' height) and Mazda MX5. And a few others that I can't remember! But almost ANYTHING is better than the stock seats IMO!

I have in stock and for sale a full black leather set from a Rover 45 and an untried set of tilting seats from a 2 door Astra GSi in either cloth or half leather but predominantly black with bits of red, £90 and £50 respectively.

MGF in mine. I managed to get black cloth and looks well with the Dolly black rear seats. Cloth = £70 leather = £150 upwards unless youre lucky (unlike me)

MGF here too.£10 for an OK pair of cloth seats about 8 years ago.Fitted at std seats were hopeless when doing night rallies. Daughter was 14 at the time, and pretty small, she was fine in them. Just done RBRR with 2 "full sized" blokes, again they were happy enough. Great seats....
I fitted mine with no extra holes in the floor. I welded extension steel plates to one runner, but for the RBRR I also had to make an extension to get extra legroom for the drivers. Which left very little in the rear

[tamtrucks]

well,there`s a few options
been looking at few nearby front seat but all turned out to too tall...but still looking,,,next is a trip to breakers/salvage yards with tape measure

£30 for a pair of MG TF seats when I got mine from: MGFnTFBITZ
They had a few sets in stock when I went to pick mine up.
Not a million miles from you?

Ive fitted my Toledo with Vauxhall corsa seats. They match the grey trim & tilt forwards

[yorkshire_spam]

Tidy job that Mr ragtop - as you say, they suit well!

[tamtrucks]

they look nice and suit the size of seating area...thanks for that ragtop

Did they come out of the Corsa B in your sig by any chance? I know that Corsa C seats are different.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Rover 45 seats. They can be made to fit and the rear seats can also be made to fit.
