I looked again at the seat mounting as it was cear bolting the side mounts to the floor would leave the seat way too low. Considered fabbing something up but time is ticking by till the paintshop window so ordered some weld in brackets from JJC Race and Rally.

These?

or what?

I'm confused, I'm sure your post before was to some 14" wheels on Gumtree.

Anyhooo, yes those are the bits I bought for the seats. I got them from Motorsports-tools UK though as they were a fair bit cheaper than JJC. Got one side in today already.

At some point the rear panel had been replaces (badly) and the seams filled. When I ground it all back it was horrid mess, Marcus cut, ground, welded and fabricated new seams.
