What to do?

[Gazzab]

Hi

Getting ready to fit the carpets but seem to have lots of unused holes in area around the seats, what is the best way to fill them? is it best to use grommets or polyurethane mastic all advice gratefully received.

put the carpets in they will cover the holes.The holes let the water out when you get stuck in the rain.Seriously you should have a couple of drain holes down in the footwell!

thanks for that, good point i guess that i will get wet sometime no plans for a soft top yet.

Gary, there's no guessing to it....you will get wet.

think of the footwells as your own personal mobile paddling pools, gently warmed by the heat from the engine,

i agree u need drain holes but only at the lowest point the rest i've filled with f/glass tape and resin at least stops ome coming in

ok i`m gonna get "wet" hopefully soon!! will be booking sva in the next week or when i can see an end to the build, decicided to fit duck boards in place of carpets, also has anyone cut away the rear panel to allow seat to move back a bit more? at the mo the seat is rubbing on panel. I`m 6`4" and need a bit more leg room.

Wear smaller shoes.

What seats have you fitted as some seats will move further back than others. I know with Dax their seats will give the most legroom poss if you are lanky
