Oh sorry. I thought that everybody thought that Bride seats where the mutts nutts i.e. The BEST for car bucket seats and hence why I said Explicit content...guess I was wrong.

I was planning to do something like that with the spare MY00 seat I had but someone off here needed one I'll hopefully find another. If I get stuck I have legacy seats I suppose

I think I'll have to get my mate to weld it when I do one because I'm so crap at welding. I wouldn't need to sit on it for it to fall apart if I welded it
