Chris's new build of an MX5 based car

[CTWV50]

Hi Andy, it's ok the anchor points are around 470mm above the distance piece I made special. :-) Yeah the SW location is work in progress. I do prefer a SW close to me but it maybe a little too close.

Got paranoid about the height of the seat belt upper mounts so did some checking.



Mine runs down from my shoulders at about 30 deg.

Distance piece not touching bottom of rule just to be sure.



Rolled it out at the weekend with steering supports tacked in place. Managed to get the upper column to run between the clutch and brake pedals below that troublesome top rail.

Last night I thought I'd have a go at modifying/completely remaking the exhaust. Well impressed with myself after an hour an half sweating.







To be continued tonight!!

Will do Micheal, I like pipes too! I thought that section of the exhaust was stainless but it just seems to be really good quality steel and welded fine with the gas and wire I used for the rest of the car.
