Vanne's lightweight/ interior modification thread

Post by Vanne » Mon May 11, 2020 3:33 pm

Good point, measured the angle today, it's 3 degrees. Not much, but still a bit. I'll ask around if it's gonna be an issue. Thanks for the heads up. I do doubt it though as the stock RR defender drivers chair is offset and angled too. At any rate, I drove the car yesterday, the chair is way too low, so I'll up it a bit and I'll see if I can reduce the angle.. even 1 degree would prob work.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not an expert and it's not a criticism at all. Just something that stuck in my mind.
Maybe a bubble in the roof for your helmet? :wink:

Lotus Elise and Evora mount the seats at a 2-3º angle as the chassis is a trapezoid. You may not have a 0º head on collision. Secure mounts and belts are what's important.

Cheers, hope you can see it now. Bloody covid has put a huge delay in shipping some of the bits.
