My 170S Build

Time spent: 3h
Cumulative time: 105h
Main activities:  Seatbelts, map pocket and seats

Light touch today with just a few jobs

First thing was to fix the seat belts onto the tunnel.  The hole in the carpet didn’t quite line up perfectly with the tapped hole but I was able to get the them installed and torqued up reasonably quickly.

Next up was the map pocket to go on the rear bulkhead.  Once I had identified the long pop rivets (they have to go through the surround and through the carpet), it was a quick job to fix.

So next were the seats.  I cant see how you can do this without removing the frame from the seats – otherwise you cant get to the underneath to install the bolts.  So that is what I did, and then, with the help of my wonderful neighbour, we fixed the runners to the car and then screwed the seats onto them.  You need an extra pair of hands for this job because the caphead bolts need holding in position from above whilst the nylocs are tightened from under the car.

And note that the runners are asymmetrical (yes- got it wrong first time round).

After this, I peddled over to Halfords to pick up the brake bleed kit. That’s tomorrow sorted.
