Fast forward to the march 2020, so I decided to remove some of the redundant wiring, that had been added over the years, such as for the now no longer fitted front mount radiator electric fan etc.
The relays and power supply wires was trimmed and made better.
Then in may I had a customer interested in the seats that I have in the car as my daily seats, I had a set of original GTS front seats for a second GTS project that just never happened, so I decided to have those recovered. The brackets had been modified and now was un-usable with standard brackets that mounted on the crossmember.
After making a template from a standard seat bracket, welded the current bracket to the correct angle.
The end result after a lick of paint.
I had to weld up all the other holes on the bottom legs also.
Old front seat vs the new.
Result excellent.
I did a compression test and the results led me to decide to fit a fully rebuilt 1275E engine that I had rebuilt in feb 2020, so let the stripping begin.

Own some minis, break them, fix them, improve them, test them to the limit....
