Mini update,

Sat down last night and designed my aluminum subframes.



The good thing is, that they can be reversed to allow people who bond big nut fasterers into the seeat rather than simply drilling and bolting it through.

Ive designed them so the seat is touching the rear bulkhead and the underneath is touching the floor.

This will give me maximum space, keep the centre of gravity as low as possible(I am the heaviest item in the vehicle) and keep my knees away from the steering wheel.

Done some calculations and they should weigh 0.35kg each so overall the seats are a big weight saving.
