Hi do you need slider rails on the drivers seat for a MOT ? My seat feels too high so I’d like to lower it more could I redrill these brackets and cut them down abit so the seat sits on the cross member ?

Better of starting from scratch and weld some proper ones in you can get as low as possible then. In my rallye I had them with runners added as well for different drivers and still had plenty of height at 6”4

Yeah as if your welding in proper bars it’ll be as strong with the seats i had before to get them central I even had to cut part of the skin out of the tunnel

They are the f**kers I have welded in mine. Cut the inner skin from the tunnel on the drivers side to get the seat more central.

same in the 106 I'm helping with at the moment, make sure they are welded all the way around, and that the counterplates are 3mm thick (MSA/FIA spec)

to make it easier to weld in we tacked the counterplates to the tube in situ, then welded them all the way around on the bench,
