Day 23 - fitting the seat
No that I'd got the longer set screws to fit the seat, and given that I needed to test drive the car soon I decided to fit the seat. It's fairly tricky as marking the floor with the rails on the seat is not easy, and you need to bend the adjuster so that it clears the chassis rail. Eventually I managed to get the holes marked after lifting the seat in and out a few times. Once bolted in, the seat wouldn't slide as it was hard up against the trim panel. A bit of research indicated that this is a common problem. For the time being I loosened the fixings off and adjusted the seat to the right position.
2.5 hours today, 77 hours total.
