My mate was sick of this happening to his FC so he asked me to fabricate a bracket underneath the housing ,all you do is push a leaver and its open but you loose out on security i can put up pics if any one is interested

This was the boot out of the corona, worked well

Got into it again today ,heres before and after shots

The sun came out for while so I got the finishing coats on the engine bay ,if your ever down this way Dean you will have to drop in and have have a chin wag

Was thinking about that last night fewithrb30 atleast acrylic is easy enough to touch up,mate says let the paint dry then mix 50/50paint and clear then a couple of coats of straight clear ,he has done this to his EK and it looks smick

The paint code is SBE   Viper GTS blue pearl

Thanks fe4me that does help

mate there isn't any hole in the pillar ,you have to start from scratch and install your own  best to use the search and punch in seat belt and see what comes up ,there are a couple of ways of doing this modification I have to research it myself ,but I'm fairly sure there would be minimum sizes that would have to be followed when using backing plates and installing the pillar bolts ,someone else may be able to enlighten us a bit more on this subject
