Has anyone got the dimension for putting the metal straps on the chassis to bolt the seats on too. We have already lifted the body and did not do this before we did it!!
Or any photos of any bolt on straps.

Thanks spike

Spike, bit confused as to what it is you're looking for. The seats just bolt in with the 4 bolts....?!?

sounds like he wants the dimensions to make up some steel chassis mounts to weld to the chassis, somou can bolt the seat through steel rather than just the grp body.



i could do with the same details

While I agree bolting the seat just to the fibreglass with a few "penny" washers doesn't look too good has anyone actually ever seen one "rip out" in an accident or whatever?

I settled for some strengthening strips running from each front and rear bolt. This is an S3 but same principle as a Chimaera........

A picture here on the first page;
Pistonheads

There is another thread somewhere confused on here where someone described with pictures, doing their own.
Worth searching for.

There was a thread where someone had made metal strips that bolted on to the body mounting point rather than being welded on, just cannot find it. Either method is fine.
