GT6 Occasional Rear seat brackets

Posted By : Tim Bell, 15-Jun-2005, 02:49pm

I have been collecting vaious bits and pieces together for when I finally get my Mk111 on the road. When this happens I would like to be able to have the option of taking my two small children along on the odd local jaunt and have acquired both the back and base of an occasional rear seat at separate times as well as lap belts to provide at least some means of protection.

However, this is all a bit moot if I can't get something that will pass off as the brackets to which the back of the rear seats bolt when in the upright position. I believe there are also stops for the back to rest on when flat, but don't know that these are really esseantial (unless someone can tell me otherwise).

Now, I know that there are more than likely no originals around that might be 'spare' anywhere and I have been to events like Stoneleigh, Gaydon and Staffford and discussed with other GT6 owners. Some have made their own up.

I am, sad to tell, one of those people who love the cars but were not born with the wherewithall to do all the things necessary to keep them running and up to scratch. I took photos of some brackets 'in situ' in the cars that they were in and have these for a mate of mine who might be able to knock up some replicas from sheet metal.

What I really need are better photos and dimensions for reproduction purposes or, if anyone has any catches going, I'll pay whatever it takes (within reason!) to get hold of some or, if someone is handy with sheet metal and tin snips, then I would be happy to pay accordingly for some catches that would be within someone's capability of knocking up.

If anyone can help put the last piece in this particular jigsaw puzzle, I would be incredibly grateful.

Tim
