You really don’t want to fix your seats straight to the aluminium they would probably rip out on hard cornering. Weld some steal strip or box section as Geeman has said, should keep the IVA man happy. Cheers Ginge

My car has an ali floor, so i,ve welded in some 25mm box tube between the bottom rails/ transmission tunnel,
apart from the strength of the seat anchorage it also raises the seats up to a nice level, i can now see the top of the headlights & front wings , when i,m in spuds car I can only just see over the top of the aero screen cheers andy

Today was the last days building for 4 weeks, back off to Uni tomorrow. Got started on removing the rust from my front uprights via electrolysis and played around with the seat heights with the nose cone in place.
I think I'll weld in some angle strips across the bottom rails with some captive nuts welded to the underside for me to bolt my runners too - I too think that the slighty higher seat position will help with my view out the car!! Me in my chassis (day dreaming !) Cheers Josh |

looking great there Josh ,
I,m sure we can all admit to sitting in the chassis & dreaming / longing for the day we get to drive it May I ask which gearbox you plan to install? Have fun at uni ( which uni by the way? my lad is at Lancashire Uni.) cheers andy

I was going to use the type9 and built the car acordingly, then changed my mind did a straight swap for an MT75 with a guy after a type9 (lucky!) and made the trans tunnel mods accordingly.
I'm at Bath in my second year studying Mechanical Engineering, although will be taking a year out in industry starting June '10 working for Williams F1 - can't wait!! Cheers Josh |

I can 200% say I would not want to be a teacher. I have worked in a school for 12 years and realy can't work out how they cope with some of the crap they have to put up with... But then again, I am just plain poor at teaching people stuff.. Give me a computer network issue and I am quite happy though TT
