Your gonna need mounts making up as well.
Airbag cancellers are just resistors so easy t fit.

the way the side panels are in the pic is the same for other side of seat. they are NOT both faceing outwards. i will be getting fabric and foam to cover the panels to tidy it up not bad for a days job i think. and i didnt spend any cash on rails.

How do you find the height mate?

I found I was too high when I made a seat mount

i think mine is fine, but all i need to do is drill holes lower on the side mounts if i wanted to. it is taken me a bit to get used to but feels much better, next is the harnesses Smile
