Rear Seat Delete Kit = £11.50

[Damo]

Anyone wanna make me one

i thought about buying the carpet from MINI as surely the piece that covers the boot area would be big enough?

That crossed my mind about Mini carpet.

I thought the Miltek would of been alot noiser with seats out, but I can hear the popping now even with the stereo on and windows up.

If i was going to see ya soon on a run then i would just use mine as a template it'l only take me 10 mins but i dnt thing i will be.

Looks great that mate, thats the reason i put this up so people get the inspiration to do it .

looks good and something I would consider doing permanently because of the dogs. Anyone thought of the MOT implications? I would assume because the seat belts are still there they would have to be fully operable and therefore you would have to put the seats back in for the MOT every year?

[ScottyBoy]

Not sure about that on the MOT but its literally no more than a 5 minute job to put the back seats in.

Your in Newcastle aren't you?

I sense a need to take the GF to the Metro centre instead of the Trafford centre

Removing the rear seats is easy, getting the carpet and covering it shoudl be easy to (or I can get my mate lynn an ex upholsterer to do it ) but its cutting the MDF/wood/whatever to the right size that I don't have the tools to do or the confidence to do it right. Plus I want a hole for the seating bracket to fit through that way I can get a bracket made up for a spare wheel to bolt to

Also in Hugo's his is not flush/flat, is it possible to have it just sit flat flush at the front of it? Its a while since I took the back seats out of a MINI (4 years now) so I forget the shape underneith.

same thing crossed my mind when I stripped out the track car but apparently belts are only checked if the seats are in

Sorry this is completely off topic, but I noticed in a post about insurance, that you work as an environmental consultant within the construction industry. Any chance you could tell me how you got into that ?

Thanks

Im a little lower on the map than Newcastle im close to Middlesbrough, but its on the way anyway.

If you want one doing then let me no it;l take me 10 minutes once i have the wood. I think the way you would like it (flat at the front) is how mine is and is fairly simple to do
