Other than Cobra seats, what else will fit in a mini? make, model etc?

I have heard MX5, Prelude and Cordia so far, there must be other choices?

Can anyone provide me with measurements of the standard round nose mini seats? I would measure mine, but it didn't come with front seats :(

I had a pair of Alfetta GTV seats in mine for a while, they were comfy but too damned heavy.

Many aftermarket sports seats (eg. SAAS, Autotechnica) can be made to fit, many people just bolt them onto Cobra Mini suframes. But a major problem is most fixed back ones are too tall & don't tilt enough to allow access to the rear seat.

I have a set of Autotechnica seats here but not that keen to put them in for the reasons you have already listed. Would much prefer a recliner :lol:
