    I once made a tach bracket out of a record setting rod from my car--now maybe I should do some 3 second 300mph cup holders???

    Sorry Steve, I really thought that the piston & rod cup holder might be of interest to you

    I really think those are sweet! I have some 4-4.5" bore diesel pistons if anyone needs some. I probably have around 8-10 that haven't made the scrap heap yet.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I think pint holders or nitrous cups also work!

    Bit more progress, while I was making the seat sides I kept looking at the seat stands, i've been a bit undecided what to do with them, obvious choice was holes which would lighten them considerably but that was too obvious for me so I came up with this shape, this lightens them a lot but I didn't like that you would see what was under the seat as I will probably have the fusebox under there, anyway I backed it with a piece of 20swg aluminium sheet, Its now light but covered and is different.












    While fiddling with the seat my mind was turned to thinking about harnesses and how to anchor in a truck, Harnesses are a bit tricky in a truck as its difficult to get the shoulder straps to run at the desired 20 degree angle, first I put in a crossbrace 4" off the floor, this is on flanges so it can be removed easily, a short piece of tube was added in the centre on a plate which conveniently sits just above the centre crossmember so bolts down easily and takes the righthand belt strap, the left strap bolts into the cage hoop basemount, A 7/16" bung was welded into the tube and gussetted for the straps to connect to.










    I started fitting the Pirelli webbing on the seats but run out of staples !!!

    Nice work. That seat is looking great.

    The more I looked at the new sides the more I disliked the back plate so bit the bullet today and dug out all the small offcuts of Fairlane grill I had and welded them together to get 2 pieces big enough, a proper crap job it was too, had to carefully sand of the anodizing and still didn't weld nice, must of been made from old cans !!!












    Put the grill mesh in with the thin aluminium backing and looked better but then I had an idea of using the Red tinted offcuts from the windows, I'll let you guys decide which is best ??? bear in mind the seat base will be black.

    My vote is the solid aluminum plate. The red translucent doesn't do it for me, but I expect it would look different with the black base. Still think the solid aluminum is classier.

    I like the translucent red, maybe with some LED back lighting behind it as curtesy lights for when the doors open.

    I like both the above suggestions and my thought was to paint the ali sheet only a slightly different black from the base but while typing I don't think that would be good either so I will go with either the courtesy lighting idea or the fabric idea.


    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.
