I've just had 2 sets of the latest spec. weld-in kits from Tom, and they are excellent quality, very impressed.

Cheers Tom.

Thanks Ben & Colin.

With regards to bolt-in ones, I still havent had time to do anything along those lines yet, and if you are planning on doing any competition then I highly doubt they would be legal, as they can only fix into the .8mm thick sills and tunnel, where MSA states that 3mm must be used for all mounting plates, spreaders etc.

I thought it would be cheaper but carriage to Ireland is £20, and kits still £35 each.

A picture of the new brackets- 3mm laser cut, 16mm square nuts which are 12mm deep, so I'm confident they couldnt be much stronger :)



Also heres a pic of the alloy side mounts I have made, 5mm thick aluminium to conform with MSA regs, powder coated either gloss black or "chrome" (not a bad finish but as to be expected it is not true chrome reflective).

I designed these to be used with my subframe kits- as the mounting holes allow forward/rearward movement unlike all the others for sale, which works perfectly with the weld in mounts which allow the sideways movement. I'll be after £60 plus postage of £8 on these, as usual free postage on more than one set.

Infact I'll sell the first set in black for £30 if someone wants to see how they look! First come first served, public post on this thread please so it is clear before PM.

TC

Josh- bit hard to see but on the bottom of the black bracket in the 2nd pic, you can see the rows of holes and slots. These allow you to move the bracket forwards and backwards on the welded in subframes- so long as the tubes aren't welded in so far apart that it would drop off one when moved!

These are light but I'm also going to start drawing up another option which will be lighter still. If required I can make them longer or shorter too.

I might be missing something obvious here but my seats are bottom mount only (cobra Monaco s). I used to bolt up through the subframe into the seat base, I'm guessing this won't work with these?

they'd be ok if you removed the bit that holds the nut in place and just put a bolt up through the slot? if that makes sense

Sorry somehow I've missed the posts on here, I've thought that before- you could just use the bracket without the captive nut and bolt through, but you'd have to be careful to get them in the right place before welding the tubes in as you only get adjustment side to side with these, the forwards/backwards adjustment is done in the ally side bracket normally.

Just to mention I have just had a set of the side mounts (the black ones), and they are an absolute work of art, beautifully made.

Thanks Tom.

No sorry, we'd use so little of it that it wouldn't be worth ordering in the materials, also not sure how well it would fold on sharp corners being harder?
