Your dead right Daniel they are the right side. On the early 'high back seats' with the 2 post head rests the lever on the side of the seat to access the back seat was on the inside. Then on the later MPI minis they went on the outside. The rason was that on the mpi's the seat hinged forward with the lever on the side and the pull out nob on the side of the base allows the base to lift up. The later mpi seats give better access to the rear seat as the ones i have only lift up like any early seat and the headrest hits off the roof....... Luckily the only person who needs to get in the back of this mini is my 3 year old daughter who just climbs over the front seats..... :D

Yes I do Macker - and I agree - it will be better to drive to Mayo in Daisy with a bigger engine.

I am hopefully going to recover the dash today - will post pics once it is done to see what you all think.
