It seems one of the problems of building cars like this is the need to have all the parts available to avoid clash of parts or fixings, this could need reworking, something that i wish to avoid.
Clearly I don't need seats for ages yet, but in order to ensure the mounting points would not clash with brake, clutch and fuel pipes and their fixings i ordered these Corbeau Sprints with a bit of custom embroidery
Ordered on a Friday afternoon and delivered the following Thursday
I was told by the very helpful Kathryn at Corbeau that the sprint would fit in a classic Mini but "would be tight" she was not kidding what i failed to realise was that side mount seats are not a "bolt In" job in a Mini, in one of the photos you can see my temporary Dexion subframes to find out how best to squeeze the seats in
We have started to make a new inner side mount for the seats from aluminium section we have also cut and machined some aluminium angle and "T" section for the basis of the seat subframes, very much a "make it up as you go along" job......
There will of course be photos of these parts when we are a fit further on........
This thing is insane!
