Default seat supports

I have bought some bars of steel to act as supports for my seats as I have an alloy floor.

Has anyone used the Kit parts direct GRP seats in their build. If so I am wondering where the supports need to be fitted. ie distance/spacing.

My friend is coming around to fully weld my roll bar and re-inforce the diff support. I was hoping to have these supports in place as well.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).

Your a million times better off getting all your components into the chassis and sitting in it. Get your driving position sorted before welding it together. Are you putting in seat sliders / adjusters?

I will put an adjuster on the driver side. Im not going to on the passenger side to save a bit of weight.

Having exactly the same thoughts - have also come to the conclusion that I need to place things in the chassis with me sitting in it to work out where they need to go...
