disco subframe conversion

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

got some bucket seats in the shed ready to fit . only thing is the runners and different sizes apart . whats the best method to fit them . seen some welded b4 unsure about safety on that idea :|

cut a sheet of steel big enough to bolt to the bottom of the seat .

drill it and bolt it to the seat.

take it off and drill it so it bolts to the sub frame .

then just bolt it to both .

you can cut the middle out to loose weight and give a hole for your backside to bounce in and out of ;)

wat sort of thickness of metal ?

[lee celtic]

I'd say 4mm steel would do it as the runners are only 3mm thick .

I sat steel so you can weld captive nuts to the back of it so you don't need to get a spanner on both ends...

have since been painted and work fine. i would use thick alli rather than steel though
the hardest thing to do is get the hooles in the right places
