Hi all.
Thanks for the nice comments, the insurance issue seems to be entirely to do with age.
They are Land Rover seats, the deluxe version from Exmoor trim. I welded up some square tube to the right angle and then used some generic sliders from one of the kitcar parts suppliers. I spent ages trying to find something that was narrow enough at the top, that didnt jam against the rear corner of the cockpit. In the end, on the drivers side, I cut out the curved section and altered it to allow the seat to move more. I had the seat nice and low to start off by fixing straight to the fibreglass floorpan. There was movement and a creaking noise, so i bonded in some 9mm ply. This stiffened it all up and allowed me to get the floor level.
They are indeed LED number plate lights. I think they look neat and they passed the MOT!
I have to admit that the rear view mirror is naff!! It is a Halfords item that I used when teaching the kids to drive. I havent found anyhting i like yet, but i am still looking, regardless of selling the car.
Again, it passed an MOT!!!
Will find some plastic caps hopefully.
Regards to all.
Steve.
