Boot build need advice

[Kayleighhep82]

What fabric do people use to do this? Also what do they use to get such a flat surface & what's the best way to do it?

[Ollieh17]

I have one bud and breaking my glanza. Hard to ship though

[Kayleighhep82]

I'm looking to do it on a gt just need to know what fabric people use & do people use plugboard or something else? Also what's the best way to build it?

It all depends how much weight you want to add ad the reason for doing it. Whoever's car that is needs shooting for that harness placement though

I used 11mm MDF. I'll get a link for the fabric I used later. It's pretty good for dampening it sound. Looks OEM too.

I used chipboard and strenthened in with timber and covered it in cheap carper it's not the lightest but it's strong and hard wearing I'll get a pic up later 😄

You took the words right out of my mouth there lol

[MARC MOSS]

Wonder if they are bolted through the wood lol

I cut it about 2 inches longer than the wood floor and used some 6mm self tappers on the back. I also sprayed fabric adhesive to make the fabric stay taught on the top.

For the FNG's here you want to explain the problem?

I take it that's not even secure in the event of a crash?

[FrozenJakalope]

For the sake of argument, if there were 2 averagely-weighted people in there of around 67kg each and they crashed at 60, there would be the equivalent of 370kg trying to be held back by that one 2-inch section of wood.

[MARC MOSS]

What's an FNG?

[MARC MOSS]

Ahh lol fucking new guys yea?

As above if those badly positioned harnesses are actually mounted to that wooden base in the rear the seatbelts would be as good as not wearing any at all

[_shaun_]

looking at it id say there bolted onto the rear seat bracket that lets them fold but id still not trust it ha!. could be worse when i bought my car the harness had been cable tied to a strut brace and the seat had 2 bolts in it!

Cable tied?! I've driven some sketchy shit in my time but fuuuuuck.

Even still, that is bad placement even if bolted to the rear floor in that position. In the event of a crash, they would twist the seat due to not being central to the chair, and due to the large angle down would snap the back of the chair. The MSA rule book has very specific angles for this reason alone

[Kayleighhep82]

Not looking for a discussion on the angles of harnesses etc just looking for opinions on the best way to achieve that look in the rear ie carpet, suede, what to use to make a surface etc etc
