AK Seats

[Shakey]

I have just received a large and very expensive shipment from the UK, windscreen some brightwork, wiper set up etc etc and my seat shells.
Now am I correct to assume I should sit them on some sort of steel base or runners??

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

Hi Richard,
In the UK you wouldn't sit the seats on runners, as it would cause an SVA failure due to the height of the seats in relation to the seatbelt top mountings. I don't know what the rules are in New Zealand, but probably similar.
I bolted my AK made seats to the floor pan, but you need to cut a steel plate to sandwich between the bolts and thefibre glass seat, so that the fibre glass is sandwiched between the steel plate and the floor pan. This is to strengthen the seat and stop it breaking in an accident.
Hope that makes sense ?
