Help find a thread - cutting down seat mounts
Gents,
Been away for too long as a father/son project has been taking up all my shed time. However! I am now sort of back on Woody as #3 son needs my side of the garage to continue his/ our restoration on a a rather rusty Alfa GTV Junior. Fun times. Anyway, I thought I had booked marked a thread that showed somebody cutting down the bench seat mounts to lower the seat but I can’t find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? He was bolted the mounts to a steel box and the sliced and inch out - liked the way it had been done and would rather copy somebody else rather than re invent the wheel. Help appreciated. P.

Re: Help find a thread - cutting down seat mounts
Thanks Gents,
Not what I was looking for but am taking the runners off and working out what the art of the possible is with some tape and a ruler! P.

Re: Help find a thread - cutting down seat mounts
Thanks again everyone.
Did the Google search across the site but came up with nothing. The 'How Too" was actually in somebody's build thread. I have chopped down the seat rails over the weekend and will report back once they are fitted and in the truck. Quite easy to take 1" out of the mounts and get about 1" worth of additional rearward travel as well. What that equates too in terms of overall ergonomics and getting my eye line out of the tinted band at the top of the screen, well... will let you know! P.
