Great pictures BTW.

Cheers Kev, I got them from Motoscope (in Northallerton, where I get work done on the car).

PS I saw dunk mentioned about the bolt on the tunnel, he is right, my drivers seat will hit this, but as I am a short arse it isn't an issue, funnily enough the passenger one cleared it so it could go all the way back (this was with the Recaro Millenium seats).

I just read dunks post Jay, you will have an issue there, the seat will not go all the way back with an eyebolt there (totally forgot about that as it isn't an issue for me).

Got the floor brace from Nic on .netty, it's a Do-Luck Rear Cross Bar

was it expensive? if you dont mind me asking? hmmm ill have to have a good look at the eyebolt and find a comprimise i think !il wait for it to get here and spend a saturday swearing at it! thanks mate

It was £253 bud. I was also advised not to use that bar to secure the shoulder harnesses if that helps.

The annoying thing about the seat is that I reckon it's only catching a couple of mill, if the seat was 5 mill across it would sail past

jay200bhp · 20th April 2009, 08:05 PM

hmm i wonder if i could look underneath and then file a mm or two off of the eyebolt where it catches the seat?
just ordered an assortment of eyebolts to from driftworks so i can try a few out
?

Off the record, if I were going to file anywhere it wouldn't be the eyebolt, I'd be happier removing a slice of the seat runner, it only catches on the outer slider housing, it may make more sense when you see it in situ

had a talk about this on www. supraforums .com as i was looking at the do-luck bar as a point to hold a harness but they all agreed : what we are saying is, You can do it, but will be a 99% chance it will compact your spine in case of an accident leaving you possible paralyzed because the harness is pulling down instead of back
