Quick update - car was nearly for sale earlier this afternoon

The new Corbeau Revenge seat has distinctly wider sections to it around the shoulders and head... My rollcage has a nice 45 degree section between the roof bar and the B pillar bar as well as door bars. Fascinatingly enough, the seat hits every single part of the cage on the drivers side

So, I had to adjust the seat position to clear it, only moved a few inches forward. Initially I was really pleased as I felt I had a better position for using the gearstick, but then I tried the brakes...

Unless I chose to try and steer with my knees, there was no way I could use the brake and clutch pedals on the Tilton floor mounted pedal box. So, it looks like i'll be buying an overhung unit to allow me to run the pedals higher up!

Also, I finally caved in and bought these:

Means I can pull the car apart quicker trackside should I need to as everything will be on connectors. And they're an awful lot cheaper than the autosport ones!

Matt Lewis is on the case for the last few bits I need to build the engine up, once they land it'll be engine build and fit time!
