I like the tubs, nicely done!!!
And on with the offside. Job started as it went on I'm afraid, seized seatbelt mounting bolt meant a bit of heat applied.
Bit of rot lurking here I think. Well, it is nearly 8 years since it was last touched.
All cut out and a repair section in place.
Tub in place for fit check.
Finally in place after loads of adjustments, was a pita due to the original wonky tub. Seat support fitted and reinforcing strip added as well. Had to add the reinforcing strip as due to the amount of fettling required to fit the tub it seems to have lost a bit of rigidity where the seat mounts.
Seamsealed and primed, haven't decided whether to top coat body colour or fit carpet.
Seat finally in place. I've moved the seat towards the middle of the bus so it's in line with the steering wheel and pedals rather than slightly angled as stock. Don't worry, the bolts will be cut down.
That's another job off the list, what's next I wonder.
Anybody want to buy a standard width king and linkpin beam fitted with adjusters?
