Happy about that!
Nick was happy.
I've really got to thank Nick, his precision drilling (lol), engineering thought and above average know how made this all really easy.
I got to the workshop about half past 6, when Nick turned up at quarter to I had the drivers seat out and that was about it.
Nick set about stripping the seat down to it's base.
With the seat stripped to the base Nick measured loads of things and ran around using a tape measure in an odd manner, with like two inches of the start of the tape not being used.
Very odd.
Then Nick put a seat on my bonnet without my noticing, and when I discovered I was furious and nearly killed him.
Nick mounted the seats to the subframes, I fitted the harnesses, hoovered out the car and removed the passenger seat.
Nick then gave me one completed seat which I fitted, adjusted and fed through the harnesses.
Then he gave me another seat and I did the same.
Then we enjoyed sitting in the new seats.
Then I drove it home at 10. So three hours work to fit two buckets, adapt subframes, remove belts and fit 6 points.
They're great. :thumb:
I say the standard seats EASILY weigh 50kg's a piece. The unused bracketry, seatbelts, nuts, bolts, wiring, plastics and rubbish I removed from the car is likely a further 10kg's.
New seats I would say weigh about 15kg's. (I'm fairly accurate with weight guessing after working in a very posh bike shop for years)
If we averaged it out at about a 65kg weight saving, I'm happy with that.
And the car feels totally different to drive now, I'm much happier throwing it around with some seating stability.
All in all a job well done, and thank you very much Prawn. I would never have got it done so quickly on my own!
