Restall Seats

[Catweazle]

Hello,

on ebay there are two of them for sale. Can I use them for a 1959 Morris Mini without any modifications ? On this way I want to save the originals. What do you think about the mx. price for the pair ?

Best regards

As normal Mini seat brackets aren't suitable for Restall's unless huge spacers are used (not recommended) most people remove their std brackets and fit special brackets that fit the seats properly (Slowboy can get these). Your problem is that your seat brackets are welded to the crossmember on in the '59 so could be an issue !

Are they original or repro seats ? I sold an original Type 1 last year for about £600 and that's about the going rate. The smooth vinyl ones are sweaty as a weightlifters buttcrack hence the reason I sold it !

Hello,

thank you for information. Yes, the should be original incl. the brackets, but I will never change my original Morris for fitting other seats.
