I knocked mine up out of some 5mm ally, much lighter then the 3mm thick steel I was going to use.

I've used steel ones because these are thinnner, and allows me to fit the seat closer to the centre of the car. Every bit helps.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

I've got both, ally for the drivers seat as it's lighter and steel for the passengers seat as it's cheaper, in fact I think they might have been free.

Very good point V, I've offset my drivers seat by almost 2'' towards the centre of the car

My new mounts are being made this week,using steel as im welding it to the cage.

On a side note my seat is also offset into the centre of the car,overlapping the side of the tunnel by a decent amount.

Cheers Ross.
