Dave SL77 Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 The bit that goes under the seat to protect yer crown jewels in the event of a shunt. Will supply longer seat bolts with it too as I am generous. £35 + Postage sound fair? Or offers. Dave 07764 268840
Archie Procter Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Dave Is this a honeycomb floor panel? i.e. the bit that covers all of the driver's footwell, from the back of the seat to under the pedals etc? I thought you weren't supposed to bolt these in or is that something else? Or do you mean it has got holes cut out for the seat bolts? Would it fit a LA car with a foam seat? I presume it would...? If so, can I have first dibs on it please? Andrew
Myles Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 They are normally bonded in with silicone. The panels eat a good 1/3 to 1/2" or so and as a result, you'll need longer bolts for the seat runners. Strictly-speaking, there should be a set of ali bushes for the bolts to go through so that you don't crush the panel when you tighten the bolts up. Worth asking if it's cut for a race-chassis or not (race-chassis have an under-seat diagonal cross member that forces you to use a multi-piece honeycomb panel. Also, if it *is* for a race chassis, the pax and drivers sides are assymetrical. Project Scope-Creep is live... Alcester Racing 7's Equipe - 🙆🏻™ Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com
rossybee Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 In Dave's absence (he won't be able to post until mid afternoon, it's from a '99 Superlight. He says he can't seem to get the footwell part out, this is just the under-seat part (hence wedding veg rference ) Sssssscottish SsssuperSsssnot! Sneakypeek! whoooaaa!
andy_h Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Andrew, You might want to check the regs. I understood that the this isn't permitted on the passenger side as the passenger compartment is the drivers crumple zone. Feel sorry for anyone sitting in the side at the time I don't have the regs, or know them this it just what I was told as I fitted one to my passenger floor. But I'm not racing ...yet Ignore tmy comments if the drivers side is being sold here. White road legal 2.0 HPC VX race car 😬
Dave SL77 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Posted March 7, 2006 Andrew Its the underseat section only, The car has the leg protection, but its indeed siliconed in like a b@99er and I cant see how to remove it without damaging it/ floor. Any suggestions on removing it and I will sell that too!!! The under seat section has holes for the seat runners, and the ali bushes to prevent crushing when tightening seat. Its a single section, with no diagonal cross brace in the floor. Its not a race chassis, its 99 dedion superlight. I have no idea if it will fit LA. It is the drivers side, not passenger. I will mail you a photo. David
Archie Procter Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Dave YHM - don't think it will work for me and I want the full section that goes under the pedals anyway. But thanks anyway and a BTTT
Dave SL77 Posted April 6, 2006 Author Posted April 6, 2006 Offers? It is just lying around and I cant see me using it again.
