i want to put three up front and three behind only cause recaros are easier to get than transit seats

[MrMPuk]

I really woundn't bother putting three up front, looking at the Cyco van and talking to the owner when I picked mine up the middle one was more than useless.

[OxtonyxO]

how do you mean the middle one was useless?

[MrMPuk]

With the 3 jammed in the front and the drivers seat being in the correct position they were to close together and the other issue was the gearstick, if anyone sat there you couldn't change gear.

[MrMPuk]

I think he now has a new plan after talking to him on messenger last night for about 3 hours!

[OxtonyxO]

[OxtonyxO]

[MrMPuk]

Good to hear mate.

A MOT man told me race harnesses are not MOT compliant if they have the rotary buckle, but are if they have the 'flap' buckle.....
Never seen a race harness that didn't have the rotary buckle !

mine where
i used some flat bar from b&q to extend the seat base out, and eight bolts.
four for the seat to bar, and four for the bar to base.

i used a single seat base from a bt van to convert the double to single

here are mine
