Lotus Elise seats

Does anyone know if seats and subframes from a Series 1 Lotus Elise will fit an MK Indy?

Probably not hugely helpful, but they fit in a Dax with a bit of fiddling... if you need pictures / dimensions let me know.

Ah - here is where it gets interesting - the subframe lies outside the bottom of the seats - and makes them quite wide - I altered mine so the subframes went under the seat (but this did raise them up a bit) - that's what I meant about fiddling... will measure later!

Right, all measurements in mm;

Front, edge to edge - 410
Back of seat cushion / bottom of back support - 420
Widest part (where the back flares) - 470

Don't have the original subframes....

Mine have the original subframes and they measure 445mm wide by 430 long, so as long as your cockpit is wider than 445mm
then no reason why they shouldnt fit.
Thhe widest part (470mm) is at shoulder height
Hope this helps
cheers colin
