Funily enough I was looking at the KPD website at lunchtime and trying to decide whether to go for their fibreglass or '7 style' seats.
Can't make my mind up :rolleyes:

I did use the KPD runners, you will need 4 fine pitch M8 bolts per side too ( sierra seat mount bolts are ideal )

Mounted on 25mm box. for some reason one of my rear tubes was not quite in the right place so I added a second (helps take the weight too ;) )

Any chance you could measure the position of your tubes for me please?
I want to get the supports in, but don't want to have to buy the seats/runner just yet!

Will have a look for you later if I remember.

I picked up my donor today, a rather tatty 1.6l Eunos Roadster.

I got about three miles down the road before it spat the pulley off the end of it's crankshaft, resulting in no power steering, water pump, or alternator :rolleyes:
The nice man at the RAC got it the rest of the way home for me though :cool:

Looks like your getting on well john, at this rate you'll catch me up :)

Out of interest how much was the gas and did you get it from starmaker? I have got a BOC contract but it's pretty damn expensive especially if your not using it much

I'll be watching this thread closely! Interested in the cost of the gas too!

My gas wasn't cheap...
Think it was about £180 to buy the bottle outright (which includes a built in regulator).
Refills/exchanges are then around £38 a pop.

You need to start a thread soon CTWV50, it'd be good to compare notes :)

Haven't done anything on the build for the last couple of weeks, been busy with far less interesting things.
Made a start stripping the donor at the weekend though, and already sold a couple of hundred quids worth of stuff on ebay and mx5nutz. I've got high hopes of breaking even on it!

Try Energas if you have a local branch i have found them to be the best. There is a small monthly rental but you dont have to pay upfront for the bottle, just for refills at a decent price

Just phoned a local supplier an 11 litre bottle is £139.25, Quick release fitting and reg £9.99, refills £36.75. How much gas am I likely to use, no experience at all of this sort of thing.
