Bucket Seats "Done"

[makeitfit]

Got home tonight and advised the front room was no longer available to store my bucket seats:augie
So I had no alternative other than to get on the case:thumbs
One hour(ish) later I've got the little bugger in
Just unbolted the original seat to leave the base bit stuck to the floor which includes the runners and seat belt clip.

Then noticed a pair of holes at the front about 5mm diff from the seat bolt centers, so drilled them out a couple of mill each.
At the back I made up a couple of metal plates 3mm thick and bolted them to the existing holes on the back end of the runners.

Drilled a hole to the right centers again for the seat and bolted the wee jobie in

Job done,and proper comfy too. It worked out to be about 15mm higher than the standard seat but that's good for me:thumbs
Had a quick clutch slipping trip round the bendy bits and I now feel able to do some proper nasty drop ins
Harness next..................ADZ?

Had some in my old maverick

Though not with harnesses. Not keen on harnesses without a rollcage or at least a hoop. In th event of a roll you'd be pinne din your seat as the roof comes down.

Not bothering again though with this one, found em more effort an hassle than they were worth, could never get the position right and they were generally not as comfortable.

Buckets are a personal preference :thumbs

Ay well the cage will be in next week I hope(well roll over hoop anyway)
Only had a short blast last night but found them absolutely brilliant. They slide n tilt etc so much the same movement as originals BUT so much more locked in mmmmmm love it
