Fully expect to have my new lid waiting for me when I get home. Only a major fcuk up on the money side will prevent me from getting me and the car ready to compete this year.

Or my total inability to organise a dump after a packet of prunes.

Everything is going to plan. So far.

Now then, when is the closing date for that last hillclimb/spint event again?
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

Apologies if you've already seen these but there's a fella in SELOC and PH classifieds selling a full set of brand new (still in packaging) tillet B5's for £900 (£300 off apparently). Seats are at Phoenix right now and can be collected. Was tempted myself... Don't know if you've seen the thread on SELOC about the fitment issues of harnesses? Jenny at MSAR reckons that not changing the seats is the worst possible thing you can do - argues that Schroth don't recommend fitting harnesses to seats without integral headrests as they will not hold you in the event of an accident. I'm guessing that was why you were looking for new seats... I'm maybe being cynical but can't help thinking that cutting holes in a standard fit seat is possbily not the best solution either? That said, I would consider it if it saves a grand :lol: - let us know how you get on with the grommets...

MSAR... been in touch with Malcolm about harnesses etc over the last few months and the seat grommets will work on my 135 style seats.
