Need to remember to hold the new phone sideways.

Any faster and the top starts oil canning, any slower and there is a flat spot in the throttle response.

Congratulations! All that hard work and now you can take it out and play with it. :D That's always a rewarding feeling. The oil canning roof is highly annoying, I know. :roll:

Guess it has been awhile.
So I finely got fed up with the drivers seat moving around as I was driving.
So

I picked up a double locking slider.
Then modified the brackets to fit.

I then had to extend the stock release lever, and swap out softer latching springs. After some more trial runs I will cut the long arm off the new slider.

Then it will look stock. The seat is solid now, doesn't move around, and stays latched down.
