Massive thanks to Dan Wright from our bodyshop for giving up his Sunday to give me a hand and drive the Mig welder.
You have to butcher the floor to get the M10 nuts on the B post feet to sit flush, Dan made up a couple of plates to flatten the area.It sits on the edge of a box section which makes it a c**t to drill, we opened out the holes with a carbide bit in a die grinder.
Arc eye anyone !!???
Trial fit B post - note : plate added to vertical section to allow a nice seam weld around the foot plates..
I've taken out the tar from front footwell, one sides was pealing off anyway, so got the heat gun, scraper and thinners on a rag and took it out.
Not going to do the bulkhead, but might do the rear footwells if I can be a r s e d .
2mm plate welded into front floor well and up inner sill to spread the load - we trusted our measuring and marking and used the pillar drill to drill through the 2mm plate.
Serious business cheese toastie time!!
Side mount seat rails,just thought I'd add a pic of those.
All caged up! - Old bling alloy Allard strut brace now matt black.
Needs carpet trimming and refitting and a few bits tidying up and padding fitted properly and cable tied on.. Which I can do at my leisure this week.
Also need to put another eye bolt in each side for the shoulder straps on the harnesses, never been happy with both straps on one eyelet.
