    Basically the front two holes line up like they were made for it and the rear brackets we cut off and we made our own they were 40mm wide, 20mm high and 50mm long. We cut all the brackets off and welded the new brackets about half way down the vz rails.

    Basically we bolted the brackets to the floor and and tac-welded them with the seat rails bolted to the front holes before welding them properly. Electric seats still work and everything...

    yeah what bradie said, pretty easy once the plan was set, only down side is the passeneger seat feels too flat if you get what i mean, the drivers is fine, just adjusted the bottom cushion up so there was more angle, ideally 2 electric seats would be the go then itd be sweet as, if your allways driving it doesnt matter i spose, stuff the passenger bahahahahaha give them a milk crate, take a few photos bradie and make a new tread

    Well, I spent the weekend doing more fixing of my GTS fascia (nearly there!!! ) I have also been trying to work out the wiring/guage/sender problem with my dash.. The guages are being sent off to the guage shop tomorrow..

    I also started to restore the 'idiot lights' as they were pretty crap.. lol I'm now struggling to get the black writing back on.. but its slowly getting there..
    Cheers,
    Matt
