PeteS Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 If one was to swap Tillets for leather seats, would it be a straight swap - do they use the same runners etc? Would like to keep the composites, but sadly they are a little too snug for SWMBO's hips, and given the options she would prefer the S types.

MartinWoodham Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 SWMBO - "I won't ever get in that car again unless you get rid of those Tillet seats! ...3 years later, after swapping to leather S-types, she still hasn't been in the car.... Yes it's easy, yes they use the same runners, yes you can reuse the ally square tube thing on the passenger side instead of runners. No probs all round. Apart from the usual one of trying to lock the head of the bolt that holds the runner to the floor...but that's the same with any seat, apart from a foam bag one.

Not if you use bolts with an allen key head. Top tip. Paul Richards Area Representative - L.A.D.S.

MartinWoodham Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 *arrowup*where do you get allen headed bolts that have a small enough profile head that it won't foul on the seat runner? *arrowup*fair point Dave, although having a spare driver for the return trip from the pub is sometimes useful!

alan c Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Martin - any decent fastenings supplier will be able to provide the bolts you want. Have a look in your local yellow pages for one or a good old style hardware shop should have them if you can find such a thing. If yu get really stuck let me know (blat mail) I have a good supplier virtually next door to my office I could get some on Monday and post them.

Grebby Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I've got some SV S-types and would be interested in swapping. They are in the car of course but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Drop me a BM if you are interested. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
