Just in case any of you haven't read my post on PCGB or Rennlist about this, here's a word of warning.
I was taking my seats out the other day ready to get them refurbished and I spotted a potential horror story. :shock:
The outer, rear mount for the drivers seat has completely broken up, so I hate to think what would happen in the event of an accident. the mount is a small turret spot welded onto a sub-frame which is, in turn, spot welded to the floor. It has a bar with 2 tappings for the seat mount, captive under it. It won't be a major job to have a new one fabricated which is a good thing because apparantly, the replacement sub-frame is 300 Euro and on back order.
It only takes 30 mins to remove and re-fit the seat and all you need is a 6mm allen key, so I would urge you to check yours - since posting this on PCGB, I have heard of 4 other instances.
