I bet the newage is easier? Lol
The dismantling the old runners for the fixing points is the hardest bit tbf, I kept the runner that runs near the centre console side complete for strength as its a funny fixing point on car (just detached the top part of runner, what a pain). But now I know what I'm doing the other side should be a doddle. Oh I had to go b&q for some more drill bits as I broke 3 of mine lol |

Started trial fitting on mine, fitment is too high a fowls up on seat belt pillar. Back to the drawing board. See pics below

Umm done exactly the same as you today mate and could not get it to sit right so it didn't foul the pillar either ,
New thoughts are mounting the support bars pretty much on the deck with some custom bolt plates , if that makes sense |
Yes m8 sounds like another option. Get some pics up m8 when u have done urs
|
Will do mate , will try and get it sorted through the week and trial it again next weekend

Finally got mine in at the weekend :D Gotta be honest, was quite a ball ache! Took me 2 weekends! 1st one was a learning curve, 2nd one was way quicker! Biggest butt munch was getting the feet off the old runners.
However, I'm well pleased! I love them :thumb: Went for a blast on Sunday and just felt great! Real snug and just felt more connected with the car. Have ordered a bit more flat bar to tie the frame back to front for extra strength. Unlike other comments, I actually found the seating position lower than standard seats and, although tight, managed to avoid the B-piller on both sides so free to slide back and forth ;) Next mission is to paint the frames, install a black carpet, harness bar, harness's, remove rear bench, make a rear firewall and get the blue door card panels re-trimmed black and an aftermarket steering wheel. That should sort the interior :norty: Attachment 70301 Attachment 70302 Attachment 70303 Attachment 70304 |
I was thinking about a pair of these, How much were they on the GB out of interest?

Got a question for you guys. Was thinking about picking up a set of these but wasnt sure which size to go with. Im 5' 9" 175lbs (32 waist). was considering the xl since ive read the standards are a tight fit. will the xl still be a snug fit or should i just go with the standard size?
|
I'd think the standard would be fine for you mate , I'm 6.1 and 18st and the xl are a snug fit but fine for me , you kind of want them to hug you to be honest it's kinda the point of them lol ,

I'm 5'11 and 30" waist and I wouldn't want them any tighter. I'd go for the xl if I was you
I got mine in at the weekend and as I've started making carbon parts I thought it would be rude not to cover the base mounts with some carbon sheet Attachment 70326 Attachment 70327 Excuse the dirt |
Show off lol , looks mint kev ,
On another note I'm after a rear seat delete if that's something you could look at bud , pm me if you want ;-) Dave |

i havent tried standard but excel are bit loose on me, 36"
|
Going by my standard size, I'd say they are 30-32 waist, any bigger then it's xl.

I've got one in. :lol1:
|
Lol, I've still got mine in the boxes. Changed car since and bought a 2dr.
Need my car back before I can fit em. |
I fitted one then ended up buying another lol
|
I know this is a few months old but are there any updates on the new age fitting? I am thinking about doing this over the next month or so. Great to see the craftsman ship with the rails. Does anyone do a direct new age bolt on frame ?
I am also waiting to see when the new production from Corbeau will be ready. |

I am also waiting to see when the new production from Corbeau will be ready. Hi mate These rails are spot on for the money , I ended up using them as I preferred the finished look you get with them rather than the ones I made up http://www.japshop.co.uk/acatalog/Seat_Rails.html |
