Fibreglass seat mounting
Hi all.
How have you fixed the fibreglass seat to the chassis / rails?
Which kind of bolt have you used? (I don't even feel confortable with the idea of having a bolt (or 4) up my bump let alone the bolt itself...
 )
How have you reinforced / load spread it?
Pics?
Thanks,
Joao

Bighead fasteners do a range of sizes which you can bond into the seat base. Clever stuff
Cheers,

Kart seat retainers are a sort of flat headed button bolt with a flat cup around it to spread the load, even with a bony bum like mine you don't
feel them underneath you at all.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

not sure what type of seats you have Joao, but if they are anything like mine ( completely rounded base, no flat areas) they are very awkward to
mount! 
i have 2 sparco side mounts like this
which seem to work rather well, but they are a bit on the heavy side, so im considering other methods.
im considering just bolting through the base as im going to make some form of cushion anyway so sitting on them shouldnt be a problem.
the only problem will be that the base is not flat so the bolt heads will not lie flat properly.
Marc suggested bending the bolt heads at an angle.
of course, if you have the later seats with a flat base you should be fine
