So, back to actual "progress" on the build...
With the seat belts in, I moved on to the seat fitment, now complete to my satisfaction,
after having to fit both seats twice.
To the seat ‘story’…. I had, some time ago, drilled the mtg holes per the supplied instructions and measurements, so I thought the seat fit should be easy (half done already). Turned out it proved to be a pig of a job because so many things had to line up correctly. Specifically, for each location, holes in the 5mm thick aluminium floor (easy), then the steel washer plate in between the floor and the false floor, then the false floot, the spacer under the seat, and the tapped hole in the seat base all had to line up (very challenging). That’s just for one hole, and access to the washer plate was challenging at best. According to my log, it took 2 days. For one seat.
When I had finished fitting the seats, both seats were skewed on the ‘standard’ mtg holes. They just did not look right, so I removed both seats and drilled 3 new holes per seat (one hole per seat had to be correct, right?). Went through the same laborious procedure (and this is on my back, under the car) and finally ended up with the seats looking like they should….
Cheers!
