  1. They all will fit, trouble is there's many different kinds of seat and many different ways of mounting and many different side mounts and many different runners etc. That's when you need to get creative, sadly.
  2. So you're saying the road surface plays no significant part in that at all?
  3. If just material damage then nothing, you race at your own risk always. However, if the driver/team is seen to be carrying out dangerous activities, then the regs for the series will almost certainly allow for financial penalties. Not sure on Italian law, but on the basis that all EU law is broadly the same then if someone had been injured/died due to negligence then there would be both criminal and civil liability. That's the case in the UK definitely, and like I say I'm just surmising it would be the same across the EU.
  4. Can't say I blame him, if I had the cash I would too

    Audi S1

    Even if the S1 was the fastest car in the world, I'd still rather own a 350Z.
  6. Mine was this year Genuinely too, not just saying that to be an arse. I did the usual thing of saying "Ah okay, I'll get back to you" after they said they couldn't go any lower, then rang around many a company only to find out that the renewal was the lowest price after all, so had to go back and pay it anyway
  7. Wondered where the thicker lines were left, on the runway or on his seat?
  8. Agreed, it's the wrong call completely. If, as that article says, two-thirds of people are on non-fixed tariffs and could save money simply by making a 10min phonecall, then surely that's their problem? Ofgem already checks for unjustified price hikes anyway.
  9. AF are a broker, nothing they can do if their insurers list considers you a higher risk and wants to charge more.
  10. Should be, BT is BT (up to a point I know, but neither a WinPhone nor the 370 is that old that there should be problems). What happens when you try and pair it? Does it pair up with other phones okay?
  11. Could be a failing clutch switch.
  12. No such thing as a dumb question mate, always happy to help when people are prepared to listen
  13. Sounds like a geo issue to me, but could also be tyres. And without being funny, I wouldn't rule out driver error either, but the first two are easier to check Also, if you only changed the rear bushes then that end is a lot stiffer now, which is more likely to make the back end snap compared with the front.
  14. Which driver? Both are horrendous at it!
  15. Any old kind really, 10mm is massive overkill though, 3mm would be fine.
  16. Nope, can offset by as much as you want Think you mean steel plate rather than bar though?
  17. Yeah, if it's at different heights then my cunning plan won't work. Soz. Bolt strength is marked down as tensile strength, so how resistant it is to being pulled along it's length. I'd be more worried about it slipping and snapping than stretching.
  18. I hope Labour send Dianne Abbott :lol:
  19. Theresa you silly, silly woman. Why on earth would she agree to that?
  20. Good call, I meant steel and have no idea why I wrote ally. DON'T USE ALLY!
  21. Right, you want two flat bits of steel, then just cut and bend the ends to lip over where the front bolts go through. You then drill a couple of holes in it (blue) to mount the side mounts (you'll might want different ones that have more flat metal on the base to be able to drill holes exactly where you need them), and then you can have the seat right up against the tunnel if you want. Or you can drill new holes in the runners if you want to fit those, just going to take a bit of fiddling to get to where you want. I would be very careful about using any kind of spacer tube, as you make the bolts much more likely to sheer off like that if you had an accident. Keeping every flat and bolted together is far preferable. To my eyes though it looks like those seats and that frame won't ever be compatible, but without actually looking at it in the flesh (or a video?) it's hard to say for certain. One question though, does the outside holes where the frame bolts down match the inside holes in terms of height? I can't remember if it does on a 350, as if it does this is all for nothing as you'd need to space everything up again which we're trying to avoid...
  22. That M2 mount looks as far over as you'll get it without doing a custom mount for it. That said, that may well be far easier and cheaper to do than you think, let me go get a drawing of this one. Definitely this time!
  23. Oooh hang on no you can't do that because of the mount you've used.
