It will also allow me to remove the handbrake mechanism from the cabin. Hopefully I can then also fit 2 tillet B6XL size seats without the middle console sitting in the way. So far only see positives… that might change lol
I think if you have the rolled edges cut off on the B6XL you can fit two . .
Sounds like a plan! And with removing the handbrake lever it should be even better. I really need an XL, my passengers sometimes (also with charity rides) and I really want 6 points as a rollcage is for next winter.

Another update
Mate welded an extra lowerbar to the rear lower wishbone as they are prone to bending. Especially with use of curbs on track
Also the toelink moved from
Subframe to lower arm
Sold my lotus bbk, 2 pots and handbrake calipers. Ordered 4 pots eliseparts calipers.
40/36 front and 36/34 rear. They arrived
Made some rear brackets for the exhaust and mounted it. Do need to cut a small part out of the subframe to make sure the heat transfer is minimal and not hitting the nimbus
Also visible is that cooling system is done. Made a quick bracket for oil filter and started the oil lines. Ordered some end caps to pressure test the oil and upcoming fuel lines
Car will be on its wheels next week to have the driveshafts measured up. Ordered them from stark (great service, really friendly) but i knew already fitment would be a challenge. Just need a few mm extra play.
New seal for supercharger as it started to leak in storage is in and new oil
And appointment will be made to make the exhaust from 421 into 41 so i can fit a cat for dutch mot.
Next year they will make a double rear repackable silencer/muffler for trackdays.

Some fantastic progress there
I really want to drive it in a couple of months… 
Made the last oil line, number 3. Also in a Fireseal hose to prevent more heat in the engine bay and under the super charger/alternator etc. Still need to make brackets so that it does not touch anything but this is the best route for it. Much of clearance around brake line and cooling line.
Put the supercharger on to check some clearances. Plenty of room if I ever find a DC5 manifold
And looking on how I am going to route the fuel lines!
