Fitting Rover 75 seats
Anyone fitted these actually seats? any tips on frame/rail mods?

Here are the rover seat frame specs

Rails are 45mm wide each side.
450mm in length front to rear (380mm from centre of each mounting holes)
375mm between the rails, measured from the inside of each rail

Anyone know if they'll fit?

Right, these arrived and are lovely but holes don't line up. I don't have access to tools to modify/weld/fabricate seat changes so have put them back on ebay Sad

Cheers Martin. I read (and saw pictures) of these seats fitting well into a Defender. I sent the guy a message (was on a Fell Running Site for sale) but didn't get a reply. I'm skint and was a push to get the seats so feeling grumpy now Very Happy
I don't know how much fabrication these'd need and as the seats are a little tall I'd also need a smaller steering wheel (or seat mods as well as brackets).... cant afford the conversations let alone the work right now Whistle

Probably no worse than fitting disco1 seats to a defender,
