Hi all. Im thinking of replacing the orginal seat runners for the rails because of the pedal box :mad:
Im after advice on how this is done what materials are best to use etc.

Depends how much work you're willing to put into it; i'm sure welding in box is fine, but going the extra mile like the rally teams is the CDS route with flat tops for the side mounts & then maybe spreading the load with some simple flat steel plates each side.

Cheers Iain. Looks like something that could work for the time being what size bar did you use a what mm thickness is the spreader plates.

Can't remember if it was 20mm or 25mm box section. Think I used 3mm thickness on the spreader plates. If you're after a quick fix might be easier just to drill through it instead of putting the threaded inserts in.

To be honest I probably will go straight through just to keep it simple.
