Seat strength members / extra support

[DaddyA]

Hi all,

It was posted a while back but cannot find it - possibly deleted??

Has anyone got the dimensions for the extra seat supports (hopefully some nice ones from Fabby) as I will be using ali for the floor and need the extra support for safety and of course the eventaul IVA.

The ones between the sides and tunnel.

What are people using - 40x3, 19x19, 25x25???

i gave andy all the dimensions for fitting fabbys seats a while back. If he has lost them then i will go out and re measure for you.

think i used 40 x 4 as its what i had, but even with the metro runners which are an inch high the seats are pretty low. im considering putting some spacers under them to make my seating position a bit higher.

Cheers Ash,

had a chat with Andy - would it be possible to get the measurements again??? Pretty please.

Not too worried about being sat low - 6ft 2 with stumpy legs so body is about 5ft10, just need to make sure i'm below the roll bar.

It will be easier to raise the seats if needed.

Spikehaus used the sierra runners, needed a bit of fettling.

Its amazing what you can do with a few hours work, a drill and some flap disks. The secret to stripping them is grinding back the surface to expose the spot welds, drill them out and then lever of the sundry bits. A coat of paint and you have some nice runners. I cheated, I strapped them down on the Bridgeport table and milled the top of. It vibrated a bit!
