I've put C-reg 240 front seats into my '68 142S, as they are so comfortable as compared with standard 140 seats. Not sure if I did it the way you suggest so will look at it when next at the hobbyshop - my memory is rubbish!
However, can confirm far less clearance between seat and steering wheel; it would be a squeeze if a bit chubby round the thighs! I too intend to look at this when other tasks done. Another issue I found was that the 140 handbrake fouled the fore-and-aft adjuster lever at one end or the other. It didn't affect me but might restrict some.
Glad to read I'm not the only person altering a car away from its original spec on comfort grounds - thats important in my book!
