im wanting to replace the door card with purspex aswell

 

[CMF_fred]

use pvc sheet it'd be lighter and more durable....

now that you know exactly where the holes in the brackets need to be why not make up some thick new ones and paint em black etc

also try and get the best quality bolt you can where the seat joins the new rail as the cheap hardware store ones will sheer off given enough force (ie, they are brittle)

how good are replacement seats tho huh!!

looking good !
the important one of the 4 mounts/bolts is the one near the seatbelt stalk, if there,s any flex in that one, you might end up headbutting the windscreen in a frontal impact !!

 

[CMF_LonePhantom]

Nice looking seats there.

Are those front brackets made of alloy? if so i would go steel and use a thicker material.

 

[CMF_turbo march-rolling shell]

the back ones are made of steel with bird**** welding no way would that pass any test here in aus..

 

[CMF_sarge3uk]

well theyve passed here in the uk so dosent matter i new turbo would have something to say no movement in the seat and hold me so well there steel aswell cheers for good comments guys except one

ALWAYS BAD COMMENTS FROM TURBO must have it in for me

 

[CMF_fred]

he's really a nice guy, just brutally honest.....(I too thought it was a but light on but You have now got great seats and I don't....sobs of jealousy)

 

[CMF_Snoopy]

I have to agree with turbo on this one. If this came into my workshop for a rego check I would have the rta come out and inspect it. I guarantee it would be knock back & the engineer that passed it would either cop a serious warning or loss of licence for 6 months. Seats are a safety item. If those mounts snap in an accident your going to be seriously injuried or die.

lol, maybe when you do something good, i'll have something good to say..dunno what your drama is.. just stating the obvious.. they are made of steel, and that IS BIRD **** WELDING.. ie, looks like bird **** (thats what we call it over here.. not saying your a **** welder), and that wouldn't pass anything in australia.. i'd love to live over where you's are.. cause the legalities over here are so strict, and always changing... not even the police know what is right and wrong half the time.
if you have a good read over what everyone else has posted. there all telling you to use better material, next time i'll select my words carefully, and sugar coat it.

sorry to hear it.. no good losing someone close to you. sounds like we've both had family stuff happening lately. just had a baby here last week, so its no sleep for anyone in the house.. hope all goes well, for you, your family and your car!

 

[CMF_sarge3uk]

thankyou mate hope we can be mates everything seems to be oright up to now

its usually a good measure of how good your work is and how much criticism you can take from turbo...

if it weren't for the fact all his work is done to a really high standard, i woulda stopped listening ages ago

like i said, you know the exact size the mounts need to be so you could cut up new ones and probly cost all of twenty bucks to get them welded together... thats what i'd do anyway, make some up that fit and work and then get an awesome looking set made (or even better, get a FEW made then make your money back selling to fellow micra owners)

all the best mate
