First, Sam located the driver's seat so the steering wheel and pedals were straight in front of it to give the correct driving position.
This meant the passenger seat would have to be offset a bit towards, but not quite touching, the nearside door.
First hurdle cleared
Second, the gearlever had to have its backward kink taken out (it's straight now) to avoid fouling the driver's seat squab in reverse. Not a problem.
Third, we had to ensure we could reach all the rocker switches, choke & radio while strapped in. Thumbs up.
Corbeau's universal mounting frames (slide but no tilt) "sort of fit", says Sam.
They are attached by two bolts in the front face of the crossmember and at the back by two bolts in the floor.
A knowledge of Meccano is an advantage, perhaps
They work better without the top crossbar ...
We needed recliners so the seat backs will fold forwards to give access to the floor behind, under the load bay.
There's quite a good discreet storage area there and on the driver's side is the battery.
My driving position (seat fully back) will dictate how we locate and secure the battery. They have found some
redundant terminal protectors and a battery strap from a Peugeot.
