Did you leave your frames in car bolted down then take seats off separate? I think that's where I've one wrong.

Gonna take seat back off frames the bolt them in and then offer seats up in car and see what needs doing.

Well My seats were too wide...

I took seat of frame, cut a strip of steel, then bolted the steal the frame and then the side mount to the steel. which gave me the right amount, seat just fits between the side mounts

Update...

First thing was to sort the sump leak, initial thought was i had cracked it again. but think this was the problem.



and its meant too look like...



And then came test fitting of the cage.. and making the mods needed...









then started the mods...

cut the sun roof and re fit.





and then cut the roof lining in two and re fitted..






And now gotta take it all back out to paint the cage .
