............As you can see, it was a very tight squeeze. Good job I'm experienced at getting large things into small gaps!

Head/doorway???

[Jammy]

Head and something!

[The Matt]

Head and something!

Aaaah, metal railings! We'll have to get a fireman to come and cut you out! Or is that why you do it? LMAO

Seriously though, it must be good to get it back home, safe and sound. Even if some of it is still not back yet!

[Jammy]

Hmmmm.

[Bungle]

a big hammer and those gate posts will come down

[Jammy]

Not likely, The post the gate is attached to is concreted quite a way into the ground. I'd at least have to get a JCB as well as some hot girls in bikinis with big power tools!

[andywaller]

wow thats really impressive that after all that you are still really excited with the project.

good work!

[Alburglar]

Good luck jammy. Practise makes perfect on the welder. Buy a decent mask so you can see what you're doing and some gauntlets and fireproof overalls so you don't catch fire (trust me I've learnt from experience. LOL) you'll be fine.

This helmet is a cracker at the price http://www.welduk.co...p?ProductID=254 covers the right working shade range and non working shade and is solar powered too.

oh and don't buy any more shiny stuff until you are in a position to fit it! It only provides clutter.

[Jammy]

Lol, thanks for the advice Alburglar, and the support MOWOG!

Whilst the seats are very nice, well made and strong, i wouldnt fit em in a tin top.

They are designed to fit into a LSIS or similar, where the bulkhead is right behind the seat. In a crash this stops the seat flexing and breaking.

In a Mini, its not their, so in a crash they "might" break.

Something to think about.

[smudger]

Just had a better look at back of seat, and whilst it does have a "clam" type back, i would phone em up and confirm with them that they can be intended for use in a Mini.

Best make sure!

[Jammy]

Ok, thanks for the heads up. Will phone them tomorrow.

[smudger]

Not being nasty or anything, just being careful.

And when its your life (or spine) cant be too careful!

[Jammy]

Yea, I know exactly what you mean. I had heard about these type of seats being specific for Westerfields before, but I hadn't thought about it up til now!
