Iain's 20XE Trackday Nova

It's still the wrong angle whether I fit it on the inside or the outside though?

Yeah £50 a set, the Magnum pair on the other page were £35+VAT per seat.

Bent the clutch opening a little more (now points towards front passenger corner of the car) and finished priming my engine bay.

Got the bucket seat mounted on the frames by fitting the upright pieces to the rails and then to the seat. And voila, one seat ready to fit:

Shedload of adjustment and a really low sitting seat, winner!

And loads of room here for harness and eyebolt:

Room here to move it back on the rails as far as possible:

Rails trimmed to size:

And the new frames don't even use this bit I added on, doh lol

Frames where seat mounts to mark out holes:

Now I need 20mm holes through the rails. First I tried the daddy of all drill bits:

But that was too manly for my pillar drill so I went for a holesaw:

Holey:

Thread fits snug, ready to weld in to place:

One seat done:

Also holes in the side to puddle weld the threads in to place:

In the process of filing out these slider holes in the seat rail to accept M10 bolts. They are designed for M8 bolts unfortunately.

Was reading up on Corsa EPAS the other night and thought it sounded like a good idea, so picked this up from the scrapyard today.

Even if I decide not fit the lot, I'll at least use the double joint to straighten the steering column:

good idea with mounting threaded bars into your seat rails :thumb:

might have to steal that idea

got your seat brackets sorted also :thumb:

Not my idea, was recommended this way of doing it by Tom Reid off here :thumb: It's safer as there's less stress on the bolt and the added bonus of being able to mount the rails lower down.

very true still think im going to have to try it :thumb:

Keep up the good work,

Also if you fit ePas dont you need the wiring and ecu Etc?

ecu/motor is all one on the corsa columns

arh so its just get a perm/ignition/earth feeds to it

I have two wiring looms coming off the column, there wasn't an ECU connected to it at the scrapyard. The motor has a thick red/black and there's a group of 5 or so coloured wires, probably for the ECU. I assume this is what the adjuster control boxes use which I'll probably end up getting, with an adjustment knob on the dash.
