Wow, thats a surprise. Did the rivets have to be a certain size/specification to pass certification? You dont happen to be going to Powercruise?

Maybe can can catch up at a track dat sometime :-) Ive found the requirements for seatbelt anchorage doubling plates, and yes rivets no problem, mustn't be less than two or more than 4 mild steel monel rivets. Im looking to drop a race seat in my three, i hear its one of the better modifications you can do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3AN 4016 Report post Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Where's the latest news? You need to use bigger washers with the engine mounts, discard the ones that came with the kit and get huge (20mm?) ones. Grab some new ones for me too! Edit: I thought they'd updated the kit.

Richard was going to go down that track "solid alloy" read a couple of articles where a few (very few) guys had problems with knock sensors etc because of the harmonics. Not trying to scare you, but just a heads up if strange things start happening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
