Re: 1/8 VW GOLF GTI MK2 stance project - An italian job

While i'm waiting the drying paint of rollcage and strut bars, i worked on seat brackets
I've seen many brackets (Sparco, OMP, Recaro, Rennsport and Wiechers), so i reproduced a custom bracket using Lego that for me are prefcet with size and shape
After a quick size and fit checking, i smoothed the bracket and i holed them for a futur fixing with 1.4 nut and bolt
Before to check the rollcage I removed from the rear carbon trim the central pillar cover....everything is good with good clearence
I then fitted the rear and front struts bar and i think looks is goood and enhance the general view of my little GTI

Re: 1/8 VW GOLF GTI MK2 stance project - An italian job

I finished the paint work on seat bracket: 1 primer coat, 2 matt black coat and 2 final clear matt coat
To fix the barcket on floor i use M 1,4 bolts and nuts
I use a longer rear bolt to fix the belts, but many friends tell me is good looking a dedicated bolts to fix them
I fitted a new bolt for future belts system
I made some test with 3 possible belts color: I asked to some tuning friends and model frieds. I choose finally the black belts. I think is more elegant
