Hmmm rubber...

(did I type that out loud? )

 

[F2 Stu]

Its uncomfortable stuff to wear

(so I'm told )

 

[ibiza_95]

nothing to stop me putting in a rubber mate,

That to keep you company on the track

 

[F2 Stu]

Lol, she's called shirley and runs more psi than my tyres do

 

[ibiza_95]

lol, ill bet.

does shirley come with a blow off valve, or is that an upgrade for later?

 

[andythom]

Why not spray the chequer plate with some form of anti slip paint?

 

[F2 Stu]

rubber mat is easier

 

[WeeJase]

rubber mat?is he your inflatable "friend"?

 

[ibiza_95]

so theres mat and shirley now?

 

[F2 Stu]

I am very proud this thread got to 8 pages before going to ****

Anyway, fabbed up another seat subframe today, all I need is the damn rollcage tube to turn up

 

[F2 Stu]

New door bars in and padded where req'd - getting in and out is not dignified gaffer tape is their to give it support and bea a little more hard wearing than just the bare foam.
Fitted a new gear knob which has done bugger all to the throw even if you fit a short knob - it'll be the same.

The other Pro Series seat turned up, that'll be going in as soon as my subframe is back from the powdercoaters

cant decide where to mount the fire extinguisher, it cant go in the cabin thats for sure

 

[m0rk]

under the knees of the passenger

 

[cordobabrendy]

gearknob will make a difference stu, as for the extinguisher, why is the cabin out? surely under the passenger footwell maybe with a kickboard hinged over it would be well hidden away?

 

[F2 Stu]

A possibility...

Its 2 litre jobby so its not compact

The new one is only half inch lowere than the std knob, I'd have to chop down the shaft of the lever to get any real gains

 

[cordobabrendy]

2 litres? crumbs, youre going well prepared! what about two smaller units, you could mount them onto the backs of the seats, are they going to be sliding seats or the full monty?
as for the gear knob, ill try and get a pic of the one i bought, it was around 2 1/2 inches long and basically took around 2 1/4 of the shaft up into its arse so made a real difference.

 

[m0rk]

no point putting it behind the seats - by the time you've unbuckled, climbed out, climbed back in again kneeling on the seats to get the extinguisher, released it, jumped back out you might want to be well away.

under knee's is easy access - even under your own knees to be honest

 

[F2 Stu]

Seats are fixed, so getting things at the back of the cabin is a PITA

Edit - ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Like m0rk says

 

[cordobabrendy]

fair doos i was just asking, this is the gearknob i had, didnt have sti stamped on it though.

 

[F2 Stu]

The knob I got is that richbrook touring one.

bit warm to grab in the warm weather
