I recently posted a thread about that here, and MG specifically verified that one particular model on Ebay would fit. So you could always go that route.

I would imagine that I could unbolt the old receivers from the ‘95 seat, and bolt some new ones on. Heck, since I own a total of 6 bench seats, I might even be able to remove some of belts from them and swap ‘em over.
My 2009 first row bench seat brackets are 32.5” apart, after carefully reviewing the photos from the ‘95 bench seat, those are also spaced at 32.5”!!!
I still wonder if they will lock-in to the modern latches?
My 2008 e350 has a high top and tall rear doors. I will miss those on this van. I am tempted to find a donor van and transplant a high top this v10. Im actually tempted to remove the hightop and doors from my other van, as it is rusty and its days are numbered, so it doesnt have much resale value.
The rear tall doors, would add a lot of work to the project, but damn they are handy. I can walk any of my small motorcycles right up a ramp into my van, and only have to duck a little at the rear.
