Re: What did you do to your Marina today?

Made a car-b-que from my parts-ute (very rotten) hope y'all like your steaks marina-ted! easiest way to convert a marina to electronic ignition ;) next thing is to get solar lights inside the headlight buckets, and perhaps even clean the bbq..

Re: Alternative commercial/coupe seats?

Thanks for the advice all, ended up with a pair of seats from an early mini, simply welded a piece of 20mm pipe between the mini mounting "tabs" and used morris minor saddle-clamps to bolt to the original captive threads in the floor. Looks great in black vinyl and it would take an expert ...

Re: Alternative commercial/coupe seats?

$400 p.a seems awfully steep! Thanks heaps for all the info guys, think i'll keep an ear to the ground for some flip-forwards, really want to be able to make full use of the cavity, can fit an awful lot of stuff in there!

Re: Alternative commercial/coupe seats?

I just looked the MGZR up, don't think they sold those in NZ! we only got the sporty sort, mgf? I need to have a look at a marina sedan and see how the slider-seats mount up, are the floors actually different?

Re: Alternative commercial/coupe seats?

Cheers for that, I should be able to make some up from a bit of steel plate without too much drama :) I assume they're just like this (excuse crude line drawing haha) where the seat just rotates inside the bracket? __ ____/ \ Was more wondering if any other leyland cars had similar seats, im definit...

Re: Alternative commercial/coupe seats?

Unfortunately I don't have the original frames, I can only surmise how the seats are meant to be from the threaded inserts on the floor. When I last had this van a decade ago it had seats from a japanese car, as a teenager I never gave it a second thought but they must have been bolted through the s...

Alternative commercial/coupe seats?

Hi all, looking to put some seats in my 10cwt, originals are long gone. It would appear they have two brackets which attach to a transverse bar allowing them to be swung forward, much like a morris minor. I have a feeling finding marina seats like this (commercial or coupe i assume) could be pretty ...
