Is it possible to convert the tombstone style seat back into the slimmer, more sculptured bucket style? I think the seat bases are the same.

Personal view here, but I always found the tombstone seat more comfortable. The sculpted seat always wanted to squeeze my kidneys.
I am sure other views and experiences exist....
Cheers, Colin

I converted mine .... was a fabrication job and I have a tame sewing-machine wrangler at home. .... it's possible to retain the tilt and recline functions of the old seats ... but not a 5 minute thing. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2025/09/12/Screenshot_20250912_101633_Gallery.jpg) K

Keith, where did you find the well-equipped fabrication shop? Murder to get anything done around Edinburgh now.
Cheers, Colin

Have a pal just up the road who has a fabricating business ... he lets me have free run of it on the understanding any missing limbs are my own fault .... have a lathe, milling machine, welder and polishing stuff at home so only bother him for the oddball stuff like the big sheet-roller and any really safety critical or stressed welding I prefer to have his certified lads and their lovely tig welding for...... real godsend!

I seem to remember seeing a photo of a conversion done by Melvyn Rutter's trimmer, but Allon White's have the best Morgan trim shop.
Anything is possible I'm sure, perhaps a Daytona style seat.......😁

If mine was just a summer toy, then I'd go for a pair of ally bomber seats. However, I do like the comfort of heated seats in the winter! It's alwasy worth looking for local trimmers, they are usually far cheaper than the 'Morgan' branded ones, and just as good. My seats front and back with heated panels was about £750 all in. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2020/10/18/IHEC1t5RZwuvsmT68p5oirB0j4mBI0iWSb7QsJ1tZzTPqbrIC3ysy8V2DcWBqBNXG-xM-Zq1CH1oODYNFEB3VnwJJI2yWRWC0MTP1IxKRLiDs6NcOLiNesT79FUSpHamUn3-DzYUQrA24aLFY2W7fyzuwW7HCR28uwy7IWiqPcrkJgfhkkRWsQhiCCG2Uk_Huvl3qFLU.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2020/10/18/8pZ2jOaW6WsAMOCCIH7K5EQ19EmLpVCxWYY4ybZJyfbtn1GLgB5aXAXwUragnnQpqUcdMg4WUKEWyQOmOjfiYCZa7hT_ubW7ysDqQRLRlBV_xDcASEOWrVB22B8L8_viE-OJzIYOsIO_bl8xyr0Nj3RkxF_txQ94oant2M7NzN_VdpyDs8PYp6nSM9DAg34CSZRaIA30.jpg)

I love the bomber seat look, you could get some 'partially trimmed'...... ones for summer......😁
Who ever did your seats did a fantastic job, they look incredible...!!
I've seen some absolutely shocking OE malvern seats, they did look very homemade...!
