Not sure where that info came from Jonny, but I've got miles of room when tipping the seat forward!Jonny Hart wrote:Looking good Jon.
You know that those seats always hit the roof when tipped forward? Did we have this conversation already?

Weird, they hit the roof in the Strada (original fitment) and also in my Morris 1000 hot rod which has the most headroom of all time.

Re: 930 Backdate
So a trial fit of the fuel filler before it gets sent for powdercoating.

I built in some adjustment on the support struts as clearance is tight.

Re: 930 Backdate
Filler looks great. A bit of clear paint protection tape around the snug bits perhaps in case of vibration?
P.s. Your seats work because the headrests are shorter and the mounts are low. Good job!

Re: 930 Backdate
The angle of the picture isn't the best, in reality there is a good 3-4mm gap all around so it shouldn't touch when closed. When the cap is open it touches at one end though so might have to look at that.Jonny Hart wrote:Filler looks great.

Good choice - guess they're primed ready for neon pink paint?

Re: 930 Backdate
Was going to colour match them in Chartreuse actually! Perhaps a pink pinstripe around the rim would look good though...Bootsy wrote:Good choice - guess they're primed ready for neon pink paint?

I'd have a few images of them rendered in different colours

Re: 930 Backdate
I agree on trying different colours
You keep surprising me on this build Jon - really nice to see different ideas going into it and all of them pretty damn cool
