dr_broon Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 aye it's not measure twice cut once... it's measure 10 times... nearly cut... then check again.... was working with me step dad for the welding.. and he's the same... both of us kept saying... "are you sure it looks straight... what's the marks like on your side..."felt great when it all lines up and bolts fit in though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Are they EP3 Recaros, or the standard EP3 seat you are putting in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 here's a dodgy dark pic off my camera showing them in... will probs be the weekend before I get em in the light... WilkesyMB6 said: Are they EP3 Recaros, or the standard EP3 seat you are putting in? you know I must admit I've no idea - I thought that they were all recaros, but obviously not if you're asking that.... thinking about it, the advert didn't mention recaros. either way, they look loads better and are shed loads more comfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 They are no recaro's, but got to be better than the standard seats for holding you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 that explains why it doesn't say recaro on them! ahh well - still chuffed with 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 yeah - there's a plate welded to each bracket which is in turn welded to the rails. I'm not sure if that'd make much difference (?) tbh the best thing would be to have the bar / plate running front to back and the rail welded down the length... but that might be overkill.the load's still spread across the 4 brackets and there's quite a bit of weld gone into them..
