couldnt be arsed to clean it and get pics, decided to carry on with some work instead.

I knew i needed some tube or box section welding in to make a mounting point for the corbeau alloy sidemounts for the seat, bloke at work said he would have a look at it for me as he does a bit of welding, but after having a think i decided it would be too much hassle to get the car to him, take the seat out and start measuring, welding, fitting + any extra time needed for fixing in new seat etc.

I used to work in an engineering shop for 7 years so i thought i'd have a go at making something that would fix to the standard mounting points so i could save alot of time by using the existing runners, worked out quites well i thought, even without the use of the basic stuff like a bench, vice and pillar drill it didnt take too long or cause any probs.

old runner


cut off the bits not needed


30x30x5mm angle cut and drilled to size


bolted to the cut down runner



went for 5mm to add some rigidity back to the cut down runner, tis beefy stuff


did the same with the other runner then bolted them in


just need to get 2 lengths of box section welded between to add a bit more support/strength to be safe, all lines up well just needs 4 holes drilling to secure to the side mounts and the seats done

might not be the most orthodox way of fitting a side mount seat but its saved me ALOT of hassle and time.
