"Over the week/weekend i have fitted 120y seats into my sedan.     I made up an adapter to even out the mismatch in height on the 120y seat mounts.   Then added 20mm box between the seats and rails to allow full movement without hitting the box section..."

"I have often wondered what would be involved in a complete steering assembly from a roadster into a 1000.   Wheelbase is same to the mm and from memory track width is within 10mm.   Would be a good starting point for stiffer front everything.   "

"I think you could be right. When we want to "Big Motor" our 1k's we generally go up in fractions of a liter.   Was an old land-speed-record car by Fiat. Think it got up to around the 200kmh mark as well, scary."
