Making mounting points for the front seats

We didn't get the roll cage tubing for this weekend, so time was spent making mounting points for the front seats. We also tested the right seating positions for the car, and visibility forward is good even from the last (third) row of seats. The gap between the seats becomes smaller as you go rearwards, so the last two seats are as close to the center line as possible. The temptation to reduce seats is big, because with it we would lose so much weight. But we set 6 as our goal, and we will try to keep it that way.

The mounts for the front seats turned out great, and they will be the frame for the metal covering the front floor. The front seats will be mounted from the bottom with four bolts, and there will be approximately 10cm of length adjustment for the drivers seat. Height adjustment will be done with some kind of "cushion".

The mounting for front seats is starting to take shape. We used tubes that were left over from our locost. It became quite much lighter than the stock, and stiffer.

Hammering a lip to the sheet to make the plate stiffer, it's quite loose unless you stiffen it.

You can see from the pictures that I have trouble with white balance. It's really difficult to photograph a pure white car, you have to adjust the camera all the time and sometimes you forget to do it.

And a closeup of the lip...

Only finishing left! The panels that will cover the front floor will be removable to ensure easy access to the front suspension.
