Hi Brad, why the hole in the seat base. I have just received my seats too, but waiting on the seat runners and trampolines, so am interested to know.

Also can you post a photo of your radiator and fittings so I can see how it is mounted?

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard

The radiator mounts are fixed through rubber grommets.

The hole in the seat base is to reduce weight (only kidding) its to allow more travel when you hit a bump on the road so you wont damage your most sensitive parts hahaha.

I didn't take any piccies today so I will take heaps on Tuesday

Cheers

Brad

Brad might be thinking of installing a "Portaloo"


All that power....in a light weight Cobra....He'll need SOMETHING until he learns how to drive it !!

It's actually where the seat "Trampoline" goes, so that it's soft under ya bum, rather than a solid seat.
Cheers,
Warren

You are a legend Warren always having a joke and the last laugh.

I think a Portaloo is a great idea for someone of my vintage .

Cheers

Brad

P.S. See you on Sunday at the breakfast

Hi Brad and Warren. Thanks for clearing that one up. I know your car will be fast so was thinking that a "fully plumbed" seat with a hole in the bottom was required for first time passengers!

Would love to see the pics of the radiator when you get a chance Brad as they will help me make sure I have it fitting right.

I have just finished sticking Resomat to every conceivable surface in the cockpit. Are you going to do the same with yours?

Richard
