Hammering the Snagging list!!

Right then - time to fit the last of the carpets, the harnesses and the seats. Having drilled the holes for the harness eyebolts in the floor the next job was to drill the holes for the seat runners. There are witness marks on the floor of the body for these holes - I drilled these one at a time checking the next hole lined up before drilling. Eventually all the holes were drilled: The next step was to lay the carpet in place and cut holes with a punch for the various bolts:The harness eyebolts were bolted up first:Now it was time to fit the passenger seat. There are 5mm spacers to fit under the runners at the back and 25mm ones at the front:Access to get all these on the bolts and the bolts through the holes in the floor is a bit limited and a little patience is required.

With the passenger seat in place it was time to turn my attention to the drivers seat, this being complicated by the handbrake taking up nearly too much room!. Whilst cutting the carpet for the bolt holes you will also need to remove the bit of carpet that sits under the handbrake bracket to ensure the handbrake is mounted firmly:Before bolting the handbrake into place I fitted the leather gaiter which is held in place with an escutcheon plate which is fixed after the handbrake is bolted up. Shame it will all be hidden by the seat!With both the seats in I fitted the harnesses and the footwell carpets. And that's the cockpit done - apart from a gearknob and fitting the steering wheel.

End result:Time to consult the list for tomorrow.
