It's just a tin plate (sort of) ford parts people refer to it as a 'tractor seat' . It's held to seat rail by13mm nuts, once you've changed one over you relaise the hardest part is getting the seat out! Last time I checked the metal plate was about $90 (about 4 years ago!) but the foam was nearly $300! that's why I suggested a S/H p/ side seat to get a less used foam, but  the XR foam is different to XT or Fairmont The tin plate is the same on all of them

Our workshop foreman didn't turn up to work this morning and we couldn't get hold of him.

Then my brother in law rang me, he knows our foreman's son's boss, the son was picked up this morning from work and given a police escort to Liverpool Hospital. Turns out our guy hit/was hit by a semi on the way to work... on his Harley. 

Only info we have from the hospital is "critical condition" and "severe trauma", apprently operating now but doesnt sound good.

 

Take care out there u guys

Architects who don’t know how to do their job, plumbers who don’t know how to do their job, engineers who don’t know how to do their job.... in fact the only people who aren’t pissing me off this morning and making me fix all their cok ups are my sparkies... beginning to think they’re the only trade that requires a brain. Maybe that’s why I married one.

Bit of an update, looks like this guy has someone looking out for him...

In an induced coma with cracked ribs, broken leg, a lot of lost blood and a possible brain bleed but looks like he'll come out of it ok in time.

Pretty amazing considering the stack involved a big arse turning lane island (new, un-painted, no cat's eyes/reflectors etc), likely 130+kmh before the skid marks at least, and airtime ending with smacking the side of a truck coming the other way

WPMOT: people need to start using rhkW instead of rwkW when quoting a hub dyno figure :)

had new turbo fitted to work car few weeks back, done 5k kms since. started making bad turbo noises and then the motor started making bad noises.

 

took it to mechanic and told him the turbo or something and he said timing chain (there was a rattle), fixed that.

 

Now they obviously took it for a drive and the turbos stuffed. better cover it under warranty cause id taken it back twice saying the new turbo had an issue and the bloody thing ran fine while the mechanic had it.
