Few days ago we test fitted the seat, fits well and good position with prototype seat frame, i might get eventually a shorter one. Otherwise Recaro seat is tight fit at beetle, sidebars need one bend at least. I insisted to put sidebar front end to low enough, because i am not building a full racecar.
We did put some support from main hoop to rear torsionbar tubes, straight trough hot air vent holes
Probably at tomorrow we fit the transaxle and 5 bar käfer cup brace.
Would anybody recommend tube / brace from rollgage to mendeola suspension frame to get extra protection at side / front collision?
