dont bother with gas welding no one uses it any more the 3 main ones mig, tig and arc will be the ones to go for but all depends on what you want to be welding? have you looked at thurrock tech im sure they done night classes not sure how far away from you it will be John

Thanks for the kind words much appreciated

Not updated this for a while will do when have some spare time but for those who are interested its made front page in this months Performance BMW magazine with a 7 page feature inside, in the shops from september 1st John

Jamie will be able to answer that better than me mate but if it was mine go for the ally ones as the mild steel weigh a considerable amount more ally ones are 10mm thick too

any spaces left for the 1/4 mile?

No problem glad your happy Just a side note the extended ally seat frames both driver and passenger combined weigh just 3.5kg

No worries mate let me know what you think any problems give me a shout

these rails will bolt straight onto the supra floor pan no drilling needed

Cheers mate ill drop u a pm when they are done

pm sent mate

I don't mate its just a dull finnish rather than polished

These guys will mod it if need be they are sorting mine out now http://www.propshaft.co.uk/

My brains aching Right the seat mounts im selling will be ideal for an after market seat with the following side mount attachment As you can see from the picture the seat has a side mount attachment that provides a flat base to mount the seat onto the rails I have made. The price im selling for will get you a set for the passenger and drivers side. Dan ill need a few in ally as ill have to buy a length in an make them up in batch to make it cheaper but give me a shout when your ready. Not up on my seats im afraid so all of the above codes an seats mentioned means nothing to me most of the seats that have fixings on the base of the seat my brackets above will more than likely be impossible to bolt them to the rails due to there being no clearance between the seat an the floor for you to get your hand in an bolt the seat down, with runners attached you will be able to slide the runner back fix the seat the slide the runner forward an fix the seat, this is what I had to do when fitting a set of OMP seats to my old supra I can look into a bride style seat runner at a guess this will put the seat an 1"1/2 higher from the seat mounts im making in post one sdistc - drop me a pm mate ill sort it for you. Hope this has cleared a few things up if not let me know John

most seats with after market seats using a cobra style side mount, the pictures above have the dimensions to check the whole pitches on your seats to make sure they will fit John

I have spoke to Homer with regards to this group buy and after discussions from this thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?238875-Simple-low-mount-seat-frame.&highlight=seat+mounts I have, made some jigs and test fitted into a mates supra. standard frame 330mm between folds, squiggled line on far rail is where its cut for the shorter frames, this will be the size of the ones Jamie had made. 475mm overall width using 50mm x 10mm steel so 375mm in side Extended frames 490mm from fold to the end with the same widths, these are as low to the floor as possible I can make these from mild steel, stainless and ally, have them painted powder coated. as for the seat mounting ideally they need to be mounted in the car for you to suss the right seating position then drill the holes. I can make an ally set up 50mm X 10mm (Short set) £150 (Long set) £185 Mild steel 50mm x 10mm (Short set) £100 (Long set) £115 The mild steel will come painted in black or silver let me know once order is placed Spoke to a powder coater, depending on the amount bought you will be looking at £15 - £20 on top for the mild steel or ally, he has most colours but im not sure if he will want a batch of random colours at that price (can check after interest shown), these would look great in a satin black or silver. (if I can get over 10 orders powder coating will be free) mitchell9006 is the man to speak to about polishing, i can post direct to him after fabrication. Postage of these will vary due to weight (will know the amount when first batch sent) Please note due to the mild steel being 10mm thick these are fairly heavy. I will require a min of 5 from either ally or mild steel to start the group buy, i can make an unlimited amount. any questions just ask. John
