Mounting seats ! Had a right **** trying to get the buckets in. Managed to mount them in the end tho so thought i would give a little discription of how i done it.
First i removed the brackets for the standard seat, makeing sure not to disform the runner !

How the runner then looks

Then i bolted some angled metal to the bottom of the bucket seats (forza). All i had to do then was trim the angled steel to allow the runners to sit cetral to the seat then tack the runners to the angled steel.

With these seat i could only get about 2 cm overlap so i had to add a brace to the runners/angle.

Forgot to get a pic when they were all welded so i will get one next time the seats come out.
The i had to find a way to mount the harness's. I used the original seat belt mounts and straitened them out.

Then just bolted them to the spare holes in the bucket seat.

R u actually going to rally this as those harnesses are not legal anymore!
No mate just track days. But i wanted to get the car as close to rally as possible cause when its sold it give the option to upgrade parts to be ledgable to rally, i think !
Had a word with my boss today and hope to get the nova a space in the workshop for a couple of weeks, should get loads done :)
Now the car in nearly in one bit im feeling a bit lost ! Got 1001 little jobs to do, im much better at doing the big jobs. theres to much thinking in all the little jobs.
So i made a start to the fuel system. The whole system will be running on -6an braided hose using jublee clips on push over fittings. I will be using the standard cav craddle:

Got myself a new fuel filter gave the pump and clean and a mod to use the -6an pipe and mounted it in the back.

More pipe work will follow soon when i figure out a way to get through the bulkhead !?!
Also found time a bit of time to mount the extingisher

I need some help with my plumbing !
In this pic what pipes need to go to what connections ? All connections are highlighted in red.

Scene as the hold fixes down on either side headlamp panel there is no need for the middle brace, this is removed to aid the fitting of the rad.

Dont know why the rear wheel lifts off the same time as the front even when im jacking off the very front of the sill, maybe theweight of the engine or maybe the car is very ridgid !
http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/9/24314201498.jpg
This part is fixed to the inlet manifold and has a water jacket, is the water jacket needed and where should the pipe from the inlet manifold connect to !?!

Fitting a decent cage makes the shell stiffer thats why the rear wheel lifts off.
All caged novas ive had do it
Good progree by the way
