then you could use a rectangular plate on the wing...
I like your thinking….

A LOT !!

However, gotta be cautious with a 92 Q-Plate.





Making the drivers seat main support as a copy of the wooden one I had done.

Cut steel.



Measure, drill, fit up, flapwheel and prep.



Paint up.



Trial fit to seat.



Bolt to body.



Result was a very adjustable seat.

@nickwheeler hopefully this will mean getting the steering column set up just right.

Mounted and set right back.



And forward all the way.



Followed by a nice sunrise today to start my year back at work.



Next job, mount and fix the passenger seat, followed by mocking up the new roll bar.
