    For the seating capacity engineering I used
    Endracon
    6 Brighton Mews
    Hillarys
    Then took my car along with the paperwork and new compliance plate provided by Endracon to Dept of Transport in Osborne park for the inspection

    Nice post mate, I'm looking to change my bucket out for a bench to have the extra seat for a kid.

    May got to the same joint I did for the engineering cert.

    I'm not sure on what I need parts wise yet. Thinking the bench from a DX, middle seat belt lap sash and gearstick surround. Believe I need to change the hand break as wel but not sure on that yet. Anything else I'm missing?

    Hi

    Yep, that list what I used. Dx Bench Seat, Dx Gear lever surround (including boot), Dx Handbrake boot & plastic surround to affix to floor, Dx Centre seatbelt (both male & female), Dx bolts for seat & seatbelt.

    The torque settings for the seat & seatbelt bolts are in the workshop manual.

    There are a couple of good threads on the forum on how others have done it.

    Regards

    Good stuff Craig, have only just caught up with your thread. Seems you are making some neat & sensible mods. Will have to now google United Fuel injection’s Fuel Manager.
