would anyone here be able to give me the loan of their seats for my nct,its on next tues(the 9th),just for the day,i dont have my originals and the mounting brackets and sliders i ordered for my omp seats wont be here till 2 or 3 weeks as there coming from italy,also when i do fit the seats,my seatbelt stalks wont fit as they were on the original seats so if anyone has any of the floor mounted ones lying around their willing to sell it would be great,thanks kieran

My passenger seat is out at the moment as I'm working on some water damage, you're welcome to borrow that . I tried getting the driver seat out but it seems that the two rear nuts have welded to the chassis. I'll give it another go before the weekend. If it comes out you can borow both, I'll need them back before 14th..HALF-promised a friend I'd put the car in a classic?? car run. I'm based in newbridge.

thanks john,ya id have them back to you and all that evening just need them for the nct,i hope il have the car back too before the nct!,im cutting it very tight to get it finished and sprayed not to mind ready for the nct

Tried again tonight to shift them bolts..feckin stuck solid
Can anyone give me a surefire way to remove two "welded" seat bolts. They are on the rear of the drivers seat and the location is somewhat restricting the level of torque I can manage to apply..maybe try an air gun to shock them out???

Kieran , keep working on the car and I'll let you know when I get the bolts off...now where did I put that angle-grinder

HEEELLLLPPPP

John

yeah, try shocking them out. the problem is that they have a base that rises to the flats. Have gone through this before when swapping out seats (its usually the inside one thats the killer tho.. )
Steve

Good news Kieran, got the nuts off courtesy of local tyre factors so if you want to borrow the seats give me a shout on 0872656053 and we'll make arrangements

John

Well ciaran, how did it go with the NCT??
