ratter Member 6,793 Member For: 19y 27d Gender: Male Location: @ my laptop Posted 24/02/13 01:43 AM Share Posted 24/02/13 01:43 AM we have done quite a few, the early ones we would just reweld, but when you have lightweight females breaking in stock cars, you learn they are weak.We purchase a new seat base from ford, reinforce it while it's apart and then give to our trimmer to swap the seat base with the old one and then refit.If a trimmer is used, normally there is no sign of ill fitting trims etc 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84105-squeeky-drivers-chair/#findComment-1366000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
