I found some seats that I think would look very good in my MGB However they only seem to be sold in Japan. nostalgiccar.com/08_parts/3/Can someone help me find the manufacturer or some more info in English? You've already found the manufacturer. They are replicas of the mid-70s 'AUTOLOOK' seats, and they are made by AMON. That's their website in your above link. Thanks, They seem reasonably priced at 53.500 Yen. Anyone ordered parts from Japan? Are there VAT to be deducted or is there no VAT in Japan? Guess I will shot them an e-mail if I can work out their e-mail address somehow

I think they might be a copy of some 60s or 70s Skyline seat?

Hartge H35-24 copy is what most build here in Norway as we can get them approved for road use. wp1016621.server-he.de/fotost/f01013/f01013.htmI'm hoping to do a similar conversion using the 3,2l E36 M3 engine (S50B32) as it has approx the same BHP as the H35-24.

I'll mount the original system first, just to see what options I have of just getting away with an extended arm or something. But I thank you, what you've suggested might work and is something to look into. PS. How well do the original mgb wipers work? MGB wipers are curse word I'd go with something modern if I were you

My MGB has a motor mounted to one side and drive to the wipers through a toothed cable Volvo V50 wiper mechanism also has the motor to one side Probably plenty other cars with an offset wiper motor, you only need to find one with the correct sweep and spindle spacing
