Cracking work, not sure on those seat mounting brackets
alright wayne ! the seat was a rush job to get in as i needed to drive the car somewhere to get something done, and didnt have the old seats ! but the seat subframe/braket will be rectified properly and rienforced ! watch this space !!!!!!!!!
glad to hear that
DH and Soundillusion were questioning the rear strut brace, and why you have attached the seat belt to it?
why wouldnt i attatch the harness to it ? its a strong bar that would never bend in a million years, and its welded in properly.........
Just read this thread all the way through, nice turn round from your original thread, and you've been very busy!
The reason that you should never attach your belts to the strut brace is a major safety issue, example, If your car gets side swiped on the OS rear wheel, by another car, doing lets say 80mph, then it will cause the turret that the bar is welded to, to move, if this movement is in a rearwards direction, the the belts could quite easily snap you shoulder blades, or worse, but if the belts are attached to the cage, this will simply not happen, I strongly recommend that you change your decision on this
One other point, you'll need to sort out some sort of ventilation for yourself, and also the side windows, and windscreen, Demon Tweeks do very cheap inline fans for around £25 well worth it. especially if you want to be able to see where your going should it start to rain!
I also have a Motor traders policy that's pretty much the same as yours... they DO exist

yea im gonna look into changing the harness points......
whats the ventalation for ?
at last someone understands the insurance thing ! hopefullly that can be put to bed now.
Ventilation simply to keep the screens clear, and you'll need some sort of fresh air duct pointing towards you! stripping out all the insulation, carpets, dash etc, will make the inside of the car like an oven, even on a relatively cool day, an inline fan should be rigged up somehow maybe with the old screen de-mist vents taken from he old dash, or, maybe even cut the vented part of the dash away, and reattach it in its original position...
