butcha87 Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 CAn't be done,by the sounds of it!You realise a roll cage boosts your insurance premiums?I'm prety sure a rear roll cage bolts onto where the rear seats are. It would be pretty unsafe to sit in the back with a rear roll cage as well, you could bang your head and knock yourself out in a crash. If you do get non reclining buckets, most of them leave a large enough gap for people to get in the back, bar sumo wrestlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_soon_to_be Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 ok well, rigid backs will work but not a rool cage, fair enough, but what about the harness problem gaz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butcha87 Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hmm,would be a bit of an arse if you want people to get in the back and you;d have to unclip your harnesses anyway.Stick with seatbelts?Not really sure to be honest, couldn't imagine it being much fun sitting in/getting in the back with harnesses there anyway!

Danny Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Im pretty sure you can get subframes for buckets that slide and tilt. I know prawns did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Most harnesses bolt onto the rear seatbelt mountings though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Most harnesses bolt onto the rear seatbelt mountings though :) I have mine bolted and plated into the rear wheel arches. Being an estate I dont have rear seatbelt mounts :) Depending on what buckets you get, fixed ones will make getting in the back very difficult due to the width of them. I have Cobra Clubmans and there is no way you could squeeze through (again the joy of an estate means easy access through the boot hehe). I think you need to decide what you want form the car. Whether you want a stripped out racer with buckets, harnesses and a roll cage, or something to transport people in easily. If its the latter, I would suggest looking for some cheaper recliners on ebay or something and sticking to normal belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Tis just a shame you took the term wingmirrors literally :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Tis just a shame you took the term wingmirrors literally :) Hush you!! :) The old plastictastic wing wirrors were monuted onto the door using..... glue. So we had to cut them off, meaning there was no way of mounting the new bullet mirrors on the door. Anyway I think they look fine on a longer wheelbase mini, on a saloon they suck though!
