Cheers Marcel, good to see progress on yours again.
Yes Mark at long last! You know how it is the old car has to take a bit of a back seat every now and then.
It's looking great Mark. I really like the part smooth-part pleated design of your interior panels, works well with the interior style.
Cheers,
Nick
Cheers Nick.
Parcel shelf finished now - ally trim needs notching for seatbelts & polishing and I also need to fit the rivnuts to fix it down.

Other stuff..... thought it might be useful to have remote battery posts as the battery is buried behind the boot panels - not an easy job to access for jump start or charging so ordered some off the net, do you think they are man enough, lol :D :D
Bit larger than I expected!

How much were those remote mounts Mark
did those belts come with instructions ?
Hi Steve,
Remotes were about £15 each.
Yes, belts came with a big handbook listing all the do's & dont's of fitting, quite complicated as they have fairly critical angles for mounting with min/max distances etc.
What £30 for a pair !!!Quote:

Probably ok as they are inertia reels Steve not plain harnesses.
I had to put them that far back as they had to be a minimum amount unrolled for proper use, any nearer and they were slack! Running them down to the floor did not work as the tubs were in the way. Quite difficult building the re-inforcement in there too. The downfall of putting big engines in little cars :(
Cheapest posts I could find - price included shipping.
You got ripped off !!!Quote:

As they also go through the upper seat hole there is a secondary stop to avoid rising in the seat (apart from the lower mounts which stop this) Only the upper part of the harness is on the inertia reel, the lower is fixed.
The belts are quite high tech with special stitching in the upper harness to allow it to stretch to avoid submarining under crash conditions (belts are scrap after a crash) as well as having inertia controlled locking of the harness or electronic control if you want to override it to make a fixed harness.
I got ripped off - don't think so? plenty of places on the net selling them for up to 3 times as much - Topspeed for one.
If you do stuff cheaper you need to let people know - we can't buy from you if we don't know what you sell - you should get a list on your site so we can buy from you if you have the parts too.
£18 a pair from me, virtually impossible to list everything I do for a car mateQuote:

Finished repainting the passenger door today so I could unwrap the pop again - a sneak photo of it sitting on its wheels at long last.
