Hi Ryan
The front seats were fairly easy, they stand at slightly uneven heights so had to fabricate a bracket and use spaces to make them level. Then use a spreader plate under the the car. The rear seats
were a little more complicated. The back, I had to fabricate mounting brackets and bolted them to a 5"x3" piece of wood to raise it up along with securing brackets on the seat belt mount. The seat
pad, I cut a piece of ply and mounted it on the existing ply floor bringing it slightly out further, with a 1"x1" batten underneath, making it a more comfortable angle. Hope this helps!

Hey.
Loving the read thank you for the details.
I'm looking to replace my interior and noticed you said you used a Ford Ka interior.
Did you have to modify it much to fit?
How did you bolt it to the floor?
Let me know mate.
Thank you.

I want to take this opportunity and thank you for the excellent content you have put out for us all. I greatly appreciate it and read with a voracious appetite!
I am a professional animator,Just have a look:-goo.gl/QxhYWj
Amazing how our experiences run in parallel. Born a year after you, amongst many fixer uppers I had a fabulous LR Roadsters Cobra with a 5.7 ford lump and a Westfield 7.
I now have a Beauford that I built in 2012.
I learnt from my father who was top student in Ford Dagenham before the war, sadly he died in 2000.
