After a long day yesterday travelling to MSD to pick up B9KOS (the car) and then the hard decision not to go to national day due to the fact we where both broke and tired, I decided to try to make some progress with some bits and bobs on my car. First of all I had to wait for B9KOS (the man) to come over after the moto GP :gayflag: first things first we put our newly aquired MSD stickers on




We then removed my fuel pump cradel to get it blasted and powder coated in readyness for a nice 044 fuel pump thats been laying around for the last 8 months waiting for me to fit it,

we then took the seats out of my car ready to be made good.


The drivers seat had a badly worn drivers side uper and lower bolster, cant see much of the lower but its shot beleive me



time for a nice coffee at this stage



I had already been lucky enough to scource a spare seat on egay and had stripped this in readyness


it was then time to start stripping my drivers seat

first thing was to seperate the top and bottom halfs of the seat.

first remove the seat winder handle

easy as just undo the screw and pull.

Then the plastic side pieces need to be removed there are 3 small plastic clips with centers to keep them open, the 3 centers must be pushed through to make the pannel removable


removing the centers



pannel removed


next was to undo the philips screw and remove the spring clip on both sides and seperate the top and bottom half of the seat you may need to gently lever the top half off the pin on the bottom half


I decided to work on the bottom half of the seat first, you may also need to remove your fluffy cat from the other seat at this stage


first thing on thebottom half was to remove the pins that hold the front of the seat (the moving bit) turn the bottom of the seat over and you will see to sprung pins pull them out



pull the pins out


the front of the seat should now slide off the steel sliders


you will then need to unhook the next center part of the seat from behind the front moving part you will need to lever the steel bits up and pull the fabric out the fabric has a bar running through it that is clipped into these clips. all of this can be seen in the picture above

next you need to remove some steel lupes that hold the bottom cussion onto the seat base i sued pliers to open the loops up and unthread them from the seat base



after this you then need to pull the plastic strip from the back off the bottom seat cushion

this should leave you with
