I have the cobra roadster seats (bought from mini mania) in my '69. They are small, only coming up to my shoulderblades in back, and narrow. I have a full handwidth on either side of the seat in the

Check the price on those knock-on "minilites" again. The four bolt ones are under $500 a set but the centerlock ones to replace your wires with are $900+ a set. Why? I dunno. Besides they are 14"X5.5
