​@@Stevestonmotorco Hey ​ Stevestonmotorco I am wanting to buy a mini. I am 6.6ft tall do you think I would be able to fit in one? If no is there any seat adjustments/upgrades I can do to make my self fit??

@@bigaidy1481 considering you haven't gotten a response, I will help. I'm 2 meters tall and my brothers is just a little bit less tall. We just bought a '86 mini and the only problem being our size is you leg hitting the wheel (you don't want to make the wheel any smaller, makes it impossible to park) So we have chosen to fit the chair as far backwards as possible, while not hitting the rear-bin. Also make sure you have bucketseats, so you sit a little bit lower.

@@bigaidy1481 Hi BigAidy1, in addition to iaintdonknow's suggestion which is correct there are also steering wheel boss extension kits which bring the steering wheel closer to you and give a little more room between the wheel and your knees. The combination of these 2 ideas should make it possible for your to drive a classic Mini comfortably although be aware its doubtful anyone will be able to sit behind you for more than short journeys.

Thanks guys! Really LOVED the end where you showed the mini in question off a bit. Who doesn’t love seeing the finished project with glam shots to boot? Would love to see more of that.

Hi. Mini owner in Scotland for over 30 years. Your videos are great, well done. I love the respect you have for the car including its original foibles.

I have recently discovered the absurd wonderfulness of classic minis. Your channel is fantastic and I love your style quality is outstanding. You've earned a subscriber here! I am currently looking for a mini of my own so I'm sure your guides will come in handy...

I honestly thought until just now that you guys had hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of subscribers. You guys deserve a bigger audience; the vids are such good quality, keep it up!

C. H. Thank you so much! That’s the goal

Wow this took me back in time. At 6' 4" I needed these in my 1967 mini when I was a teenager, combined with the bracket to lower the angle of the steering wheel I wouldn't say it was roomy but it was a hell of a lot more comfortable

4:42 that end my friends! Hell yeah! Awesome video :)

Another really excellent video! I love how you explain everything so anyone can understand.

Great quality video's you guys have. What I like about this one, is that you've added some small funny scenes/sounds (like seat moving on the beat!). Makes it even better to watch!

Another great video! Keep it up. Greetings from Portugal!

The later minis have thicker seats, which limits the rearward travel a bit, even with these brackets. I've fitted them on '97 Cooper - it gives a bit more travel, but not as much as for the older cars with the thin seats.

Yes just spent an hour to find that out lol only get a 1cm extra seat feels higher as well Lol

Love your style - keep it up!

Nice video, clear and to the point.

Like you simple yet well crafted videos.

I bought a set of those brackets and they looked like cast alloy. I didn’t feel like they were sturdy enough to hold the weight. Good video too!

Keep up the great videos

You’re awesome! (Big fan from Italy)

you guys are awesome!

Will these fit in a 451 smart fortwo ?

can you still slide the seat back and forth with the factory rails?? or does it stay stationary

Ho sir, where did you buyed the two nuts that are used to close the front grille? Thanks

If you used a bit longer bolt and a little spacer could you move it even more to the right?

Whats the music near the end?

Thank u. Great editing and lovely mini´s I feel like the moving seat scene was alot of work ._.

You'd probably be looking at chopping down and welding the seat mounts. It wouldn't be difficult for someone with a welder.

It might be. You should also check to see if there is an interference with any part that needs to rotate for the seat to lift.
