I need to get some bars welded into my car to attach the side mounts to for new seats.Is there any specific stuff I should go for? I have seen round bars etc, but I assume box section is better/easier? Any pics or advice to help me out would be great  ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged  [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

I need some for my car too, CDS is what is advisable from what i've read, i think around 25mm dia, also, according to the blue book the plates at each end should have an area at least 40cm^2 and be 3mm thick.I don't think i'll ever be entering mine into a race series so i'm tempted to just use some ERW 25mm tube with a 2mm wall as its infinitely cheaper than CDS.  There are kits you can buy on ebay and other places at around £40 a seat. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

problem i found was the exhaust tunnel in the way for the driver. It really needs cutting out to get a seat low and in the middle. They ended up fixing one side directly to the top of the tunnel and the other on some bars. If you want to do it right you need to take off the exhaust tunnel cover piece. Large but it should come off if you attack all the spot welds. |

Will see what the local places can offer me. Don't skimp on seat mountings, they take a massive loading and in the event of a severe side impact or rollover are forced to cope with a huge ammount of G forces. If the seat tears out you face very serious injury. Don't assume local garages and fab shops know what's required, give the work to someone with experience of motorsport preparation or look up the MSA specs and give the fabricator a clear idea of what you need. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

I have mine set low. I had to remove that pointless bit of metal thats spot welded to the floor under the seats to fit my bucket seats. Didnt have to cut any of the exhaust tunnel either________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

do it properly, sling them down low, you can always lift the seat with the side mounts also position the harness plates properly, centre one directly under the seat, rear ones on the harness bar etc. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Chris, I used 40mm box section for mine. Loacted it over the little horizontal barrel where the original seat mount is on the sill, and welded the other end (with a plate) to the transmition tunnel. Much like this http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=113226 but with box rather than tube. I used 50mm box to bring up the height to level for the front ________________________________________ Rallye-RNurburgring article |

Surely that will be strong/decent enough?

I may as well get it done properly if I am getting it done. Plus, as Mei said, if I make it low as possible, I can make the seat higher using the side mounts. ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |
