Just wait until you have to start redrilling your frames😂😂

You'll 100% hate how these are drilled and scratch your head at how retarded they are

Why will I have to redrill them? the seats should bolt straight on the holes already there shouldnt they?

Yes they should

Started mocking up my buckets. I found a few bits wrong/annoying

Firstly, because in a fat c**t I have to get XL seats. Because they're XL they dont line up with any holes on the subframes??

Secondly, the previous owner of the seats failed to mention the part where he snapped off one of the mounting bolts in the seat. So yeah, cheers

And annoyingly it's the one I wanted to use as the drivers seat as it's still in FIA date until 2022 and the other one runs out this year and has a heat gun burn mark on it

Never the less I needed to get one in there to love the car about for the time being. It's a tight squeeze when I placed the seat sort of where I wanted it

I came back to it the next day because adult duties called?

Started out by laying some tape and marking out a few places where I need to mount the side mounts to the subframes

Measured 3 times and then pressed on by drilling holes all over the shop?

This hole goes through the sidemount, subframe and then uses the existing but underneath as the bolt would make the subframe rock if not.

I'd just hovered it and I couldn't be fucked to remove the subframe again so out came an old sheet?

Then my punch started enjoying me so I stuck it in the drill and sharpened it on the grinding wheel. Now I dont have to worry about it sliding all over when I'm trying to stamp a point!

Got all my holes drilled and the sidemounts in place... I messed up at this point too. I spent 10 minutes bolting everything down like this...

View attachment 1413142

Then forgot that I'd not stuck the seatbelt in!?☹ doh

After all that I got the seat in and I'd raised it and brought it a little more forward than I first anticipated but it feels better for it...

This should give you an idea of the arse ache I went through

As far as i'm aware mine arent xl's so hopefully shouldnt be as much of a problem. Will see when they arrive 🤷‍♂️

@Louis Put normal sized Pole Positions in his and had to drill all the holes😂😂

I've got OMP ChampR (slim fit) as my passenger seat and OMP RS-PT (wider fit)for drivers seat both on Jon Foz plates. No problems fitting either of them, all the holes were perfect..

Got a few photos of starting on deep cleaning the interior, rust preventing inside the rear arches/sill bits. Just waiting on the Hydrate 80 etc.
