Some of you may know that I have fitted Audi seats in my car, and use aluminium for the framework. I knows its a soft metal and to fix that I have this following idea. I dont have access to welding or a welder right now, but I want to fix this as soon as I can.
The idea is as below
47749
The seat rail on the seat is the green bars. The red circles are the bolts that go into the floor pan of the car. The black bars are 3mm flat steel bars that I aim to use to brace the seats, and the blue circles are the bolts holding the seat rail to the steel bars.
You will see that the inside seat rail is bolted directly to the floor. The steel then bolts to the rail alongside those bolts. The Audi rails are about 100mm wide at least so plenty of space to that. The bar then extends out to the other side mounting points and due to the uneven floor, I aim to use about 10mm of spacer to raise the bar so the seat sits flats. The rail then bolts to the bar as indicated.
Can anyone look at that and advise why it wont work or something? I cant see that it wont, and its definitely better than what I have now.
