The roll bar was from Nathan at nts. The rear stays were done by my mate (bought the tube off ebay)

Default Update

Everything has been going brilliantly with my build over the last few weeks. My list seems to be getting smaller and smaller...... However tonight I have cam to the conclusion I may need to buy some new seat runners.

I bought 2 pairs of these about a year ago http://www.kitpartsdirect.com/produc...versal_Runners and there is so much movement in the seats I cannot ever see them pass the iva. I am therefore looking for an alternative...

Has anyone else had similar problems with these runners?

I'm therefore thinking my runners are duff so happy for any suggestions. Do you thing it would be ok to weld the so they don't move?

David

I used those, and was worried about the amount of play in them too!
IVA man clearly wasn't as concerned and didn't even mention it

Cheers, I went back out in the garage last night and had another look. The driver side one is not too bad. The passenger side though had actually failed. There are some nylon inserts that have fallen out. I am going to weld the passenger side one as it doesn't need to slide forwards and backwards.

Fiat Punto could be made to fit and most small cars have split runners where the adjuster bar could be cut and joined for the width of the Haynes.

I've finished the wiring to the back lights now. Lots of crimping later and all my light flash in the correct sequence! I also put my roadster sticker on the rear panel. Here is a photo.


I'm not sure if I mentioned this earlier but I put my harnesses in which I ordered from prima Motorsport. Titan 4 point items. They are really nice, wide and had a good aero style buckle.

More photos to follow.
