Bit concerned about those right angle brackets for the seat belt receivers though - they look like they would just buckle if put under any stress.

Hear ya Mark...They have bit more angle on them than the photo shows...I also welded on a stiffing plate on tunnel topside and a spreader bar behind.


Gluing done....trim going in. Combination of original and new leatherette...

Testing out some polishes, paint is going to come up a treat. Nicely aged and hiding some past vinyl exploits...

Over think it, make it...

Needs some fine tuning, but pleased how this turned out. Ebay 356B pipes and a stepped connector from car parts shop, some cuts, some welding and afew choice holes later.....Got a plan for the original outlet :wink:

(Other reason why ? The new Dansk exhaust outlets sit about 1/2 inch higher than the original exhaust, meaning the centre pipes I fitted were hitting the valance panel)
