Seat belts may still be a problem though.

What does it weigh?

Weighs 9kg with brackets. Because of the lack of 'wings' seat belts should be workable but having not got an S2000 with seatbelts I cant confirm for sure.

Seats come in two base widths, std and XL. Im a 34" waist and can squeeze into a std seat, but as an everyday driver you'd definately want the XL.

The issue with seat belts is getting your hand down the side of them to get the clip in. With the sides of the seats being high up, it's a long way down.

We have progress! Well. A little. Engine and box are finally together after being sent the wrong clutch bearing which held things up for a few weeks. This is going in on Saturday along with seats, dash, new GRP box in place of the original fuel tank (which will house the battery and fire extinguisher). Still waiting on Inline Pro Inlet manifold and still making my mind up on exhaust manifold, but at least there is progress -

We'd have been knackered without you Si.....HENDY PERFORMANCE everyone - Top top people

Our own fault for buying a bare shell and expecting to be able to find every last nut and bolt needed, but wherever a spanner has been thown in the works in the last few weeks, Hendy have come up trumps....

Had a busy morning today..............

GRP box to fill the void left by the removal of the OEM fuel tank. This will house the battery and the fire extinguisher -

Dash looks amazing, who did it? how does it fit around the roll cage, can you take a pic?

Engine looks lost in there without the front chassis brace, are you looking to keep the engine bay as clean as possible like Robert Reid's car??
