Larkspeed, I'm using 15mm rear h&r alloy spacers (extremely light) and 25mm delta mic front spacers although will soon be changing the fronts to h&r 25mm spacers
As far i know you cant get 15mm bolt to hub spacers.
Ive used 15mm rear spacers and studs on track with no problems, as has Lewis.

Yeah your right. Yes Larkspeed sell all the studs and nuts separately so you can get them to what ever length you want, they are like 99p each!
Seat Fitting!
Well i last night the seat got fitted and rails welded. Turned up at my mates farm last night at about 8 to get the job done.
Here is the seat in my garden last night.
First thing we done was cut the rails to length, here is the first one all mocked up. We done it so the rail was as low as possible, yet the strengthening plate was kept whole. This was due to the size of the seat, it is huge! Very tall, and most importantly the top is very wide so we had to take all this into account.
By the time this was welded in it was around 9 ish last night and we just wanted to get done! But we cracked on under a lead light, all went really well, captive nuts all lined up perfectly. Put the seat on the second mount up from the bottom of the side mounts and it is perfect height for me (6 foot tall!) But when we bolted the side mounts to the rails, one of the captive nuts had a knackered thread! Absolutly gutted, so we cut the nut out and changed it for a temporary bodge. Not very happy with the quality, will be getting onto JJC for another captive nut. Other than that all went really well, he appologised that some of the welding isn't perfect, but i think we can all appreciate getting under and around the rails in some places is bloody awkward! I'm very happy with the welding, the easy to get to parts are welded perfectly, just the awkward bits have a few big blobs lol.
Here is the finished item:
Honest opinion on the seat, i love it, very comfortable, lots of support, but the only problem, being a 34 waist, fairly big build (fat really!)
a medium is too small, i can manage tho, and gives me incentive for a diet! Haha!
The seat looks awesome!
I agree it does look skinny, ill bring the crow bar to get you out of it when we get to germany

Bless ya
I wear large and fit in mine lol
Looks good mate they are a great seat Look forward to seeing the car again soon hopefully!
Did you drill the sill's and pass the rails into the sill's? I didn't ever realise that they were supposed to be fitted like this but then I was corrected on this forum.

It's far too small for me. Oh right me either lol we did cut the rails dead tight, can't see the need if there is a strengthening plate tbh.Also do you still have your Pole Position?
I'm sure it will be fine and I didn't have a clue they were supposed to be cut into the sill's either! I'm sure they'll be fine!Thanks mate, it is, but mines going to have to go
Also do you still have your Pole Position?
That's a shame mate
, I have still got the pole position and also selling a Taurus (its either an L or XL) but i'm 99% certain it won't fit in your car from looking at the pictures as the bigger Taurus seats use a much bigger shell. We had to design the cage in mine from the start to fit around the shell and it's still not ideal. Let me know if you need the recaro as I still need the rack

To be fair, yours were bolted side mounts directly to floor, i have now fitted seat rails.
Trafic 140dci
Never mind, playing it safe now and getting James Recaro Pole PosisionYour rails are only an inch off the floor though, they'll fit
Get some dimensions and check
Should be here in just over a week, can't wait! Just hope it can fit the seat rails...Also my seat is for sale if anyone extremely thin/anorexic is interested

Lol I can sell mine for a similar price so won't cost to change
Good lad taking everything into account to still justify it
I got them with side mounts! im not really selling, they are my favourite thing about the whole car.
Your coming to the ring? good lad!
