I made a start on the middle arm rest.
I started with a very simple design. Upright support that fits between the two seats and a single pivot point.

Re: Mk2 1.6 the longer term project
So boot build, i started this months ago a have only just today gotten to this stage.
But I'll start at the beginning.
Sound deadening/reduce the vibrations of the wood on metal. If you have a decent budget, Id recommended proper sound deadening.

Re: Mk2 1.6 the longer term project
So I was looking through gum tree the other day, just window shopping for wheels. Not really planning on buying anything, mainly because the rims I liked where out of my budget.
When I stumbled across these;

Re: Mk2 1.6 the longer term project
So I fixed (at least thought I fixed) all the faults. only for it to fail again on the retest.
I had changed the wheel cylinder & shoes on the weaker side (drivers) in hope that it would sort the axle balance and increase the over all efficiency. I only did the one side for retest for two reasons.

Re: Mk2 1.6 the longer term project
So prior to the MOT, I took my car into work for a pre MOT check. To spot any obvious faults. All was looking good till I got to the rear arches and saw this;

Re: Mk2 1.6 the longer term project
I hate rust. I hate having to repair rust even more so, however MOT is due at the end of the month and it was never going to pass with this hole in the drivers rear wheel well.

Re: RE: Re: Mk2 1.6 the longer term project
Hows that tailgate gonna work?
The lights take up most of the rear so are they on folding down too or just fhe number plate section The natural line of the boot goes down through the lines right at the end of the indicators, so I would cut through there, so the whole back end drops down.

Re: Mk2 1.6 the longer term project
So I'm really leaning towards doing some like this; https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180202/597d815333c0d2cbcaf3bd02ee10d108.jpg
This is a picture of a Rocco with a completely flat rear, I think it looks great and very practical however I want to go a step further.

Here is the last part of my seat modification.
This is what the lower part of the rocco seat look likes with the tub removed.

Re: RE: Re: Mk2 1.6 the longer term project
Yes it's not the sort of thing you adjust every day, as long as you get it right in the 1st place it should not be a problem unless you have a 7ft friend who wants to drive your car... :-D open the sunroof might be the answer to that one...
Well worth trade off though as the TT seats look super ...

Re: RE: Re: Mk2 1.6 the longer term project
Sadly the bottom of the seats are fixed in that position but, I've set them up so they are at the angle I find comfortable.mark1gls wrote:They look like they was fitted in the factory... Can you still lower the seats like the original ones?

Re: Mk2 1.6 the longer term project
So here are some (hopefully) better pics of what you need to remove the scirocco outer rails from the frame and where to mount them on the TT frame.
I've coloured them to hopefully make things clear, and not matter which picture you look at all the things circled by blue are always the same, same ...
