Safe storage
After you have all your body fixings, the doors and bonnet in place and are happy with there positions it can
be safer to remove them and store them safely until you are finished with under bonnet connections or you
are ready to trim the interior.
Remember, if you need to remove any body bolts or stays for any reason you must re-check door fit before
you proceed.

Body fittings.
8.1
Floorboards, handbrake and seat runners
You will need the following parts for this operation:
• Handbrake cable.
• Handbrake assembly (complete with "handbrake on" switch if fitted).
• Handbrake lever "S" bracket with fixings.
• Modified seat runners.
• Floorboard set see figure15 for layout and brake access panel.
• Transmission tunnel & gearbox cover.
8.1.1 Handbrake cable
Fit the handbrake cable to the rear calipers and ensure that the return springs are in place between the
calipers and the holes in the rear damper mount washers. Adjust the handbrake calipers as per Haynes
manual Chapter 9, Section 15.
8.1.2 Positioning of inner seat runner and fixing of main floorboards
Jobs 2 to 7 are best done temporally before removing the floorboards for stain protection. Referring to fig 7
as a guide, plan out where the longitudinal chassis rail tabs should be drilled and/or tapped to secure the
inner seat runners. The inner seat runners are easier to measure and pilot drill before the floorboards are
fitted, with these positions located and pilot drilled with a 4mm drill bit you can place in position the 4 main
floorboards so they're a snug fit against the body.
If possible clamp the floorboards in position before marking the positions for the two seat belt fixings and
the four inner seat runner mounts on the underside of the floorboards, also mark in the chassis the two bolt
positions in each of the four main floorboard sections.
Remove the floorboards before drilling clearance holes for the seat belt mounts and pilot holes for the seat
runner mounts in the floorboards, then drill and tap the eight floorboard mount holes, these need to be taped
to suit the supplied M6 x 25 mm screws. Clean the drillings away before fitted the floorboards back in and
hold in place with the supplied screws.
8.1.3 Outer seat runner position
Next using a square and rule measure the positions for the outer seat runner referring to fig 7, the runner
mount holes are 330 mm apart and the inner and outer runners should be 285 mm apart. Make sure they are
parallel because if not, they will not slide once the seat frame is bolted on. These can be pilot drilled before
removing the floorboards once more, with the floorboards out you can drill clearance holes in the floorboards
and drill and tap the chassis to suit the 5/16 unf cap head bolts supplied, the inner mount can be mounted
with a nyloc if preferred.
Note: In order to locate the seats in the optimum position it is best to drill and mount the seat bases
after the seats and side panels are trimmed and the full finished size of the seats and check straps are
apparent.
