I am not surprised you find my comment not very original, you must be hearing it constantly.

When you have your therapy to help with your inferiority complex see if they can reverse your sense of humour bypass.

Have a nice day .

Steve, if bitterness and hostility accompanies "expertise", that expertise is largely wasted.

Why not try to be helpful or positive instead? People will appreciate it, guaranteed...

Well I for one found Steve's posts rather amusing. After, I tried to explain it to my 10 year old son. Unfortunately he didn't get the joke either.

I didn't show him the rather unprovoked personal attack on Steve however and kind of assumed there either there must be some "history" here or the sense of humour comment was right on the nail.

What is wrong with having a joke from time to time?

I must say I was very amused its that kind of humour that makes the forum more interesting it was a silly answer to in fairness was a rather obvious answer so rather than say no Steve gave the answer with some artistic poetic Flair even to my suggestion of a drill being a hole making kit Great answer Steve

Nothing. As long as it's not at someone else's expense.

I think you need to go back and read the thread again. I think you will then find who was hostile, my posts included smilies. Bitterness is a wasted emotion but posts like yours could tempt me to waste some emotion but life is too short. I think you are confusing me with someone else when you mention expertise, I have never professed to being an expert, others have.

I like to think that my posts have been helpful over the years but you obviously don't. Perhaps you should review your own.

It is my choice if I post or not, much as it is yours but as I said life is too short.

Back to the topic... Today, I just tried some 1999 MX5 seats into the building lot which the 3000M currently is. And they do fit nicely.

However, you will definitely need one of those hole moving kits (actually two, one for each seat).

Steve, of course, someone could post "smilies" all day and be fuming the whole time.

E-mail is a very risky way to try out humour, unless you're certain the receiver isn't going to take it differently than you intended.

Fair enough, I'll assume you meant well by it. I had hoped you'd take my suggesting that you're an expert as a compliment. But it seems like you didn't, despite you clearly being one. (I refer to a Practical Classics article and other sources)

Oh well. As you rightfully say, life is far too short to worry about that. Keep on posting, as will I.

(Sorry to interupt the topic -- please continue. I won't butt in again.)

The answer, for someone who is not interested in drilling additiomal holes, is to fabricate a set of intermediate brackets. No, the answer given was offensively stupid, and misleading. A supposed "expert" opinion. You know the saying about opinions. Everyone has a Steve.

Best,

Sadly the floor of the Vixen/M is not level, once you have removed an M Series seat you will see that the hard wood block/spacer that is required to stack the seat runner from the floor, is of two different thicknesses, to straighten the seat up within the shell, OR ELSE, the whole seat is canted and although you do not realise this, the car seat causes you to twist your hip. the result is often painful. Vixens have even more of a issue as along with canted seats ...the steering wheel is at angle!!.

That's interesting. Should the outer or inner runners have the most packing?

[Dollyman1850]

Some vixen floors are level. some aren't, some floors are dropped below chassis line, some aren't some have 3 inch wide hardwood reinforcing packers glassed into them forming 2 flat runners to bolt the seat runners too, some don't. It depends on whether you are working on S1, S2, S3 or S4 vixen. the floors between models differ.

As a casual observer, you do generally present yourself quite badly on this forum Steve. Your posts swing between aloof, obtuse and arrogant and whether you accept it or not, your online persona does not come across well. Perhaps you are a pleasant and reasonable bloke when dealt with face to face but that's not how you come across online.
