No probs, I'll get some for you at the weekend.
Nothing done to dash yet, may just leave it. Dial are still standard but I actually quite like the black face.

Rob, after seeing your car in the flesh you've now got me interested in fitting new seats myself 
So:
1. What do you think of the cobras? Robmug is doing them for a great price compared to the Recaro PPs I was contemplating.
2. Do the seats work ok with the normal 3 point belts?
3. What do I need to fit harnesses without a cage and how have you attached them? (I saw you had a bar in there but couldn't work out if anything was attached or if it just acts as a guide).
p.s. I hope the Mrs is no longer feeling queasy after her trip round the track!

Hi Steve
Cobra's are great imo, hold is fantastic. Wish I'd have got the larger size for the pass. seat so people didn't have to squeeze themselves. RobM did mine at a great price. I did only have one set of sliders for the driver seat tho'
Haven't tried the seats with the normal belts, stripped mine out and ebay'd them.
My harnesses are attached to the rear seat belt mountings (shoulder straps) and the original front seatbelt points(lap belt). I did install a couple of tunnel mounts (easy job) for the other side of the lap belt.
The bar you mention is just a harness guide bar. cheap as chips from stable energies stateside. Attachs to the orig. seat belt mounting which this then attaches to so you can use normal belts.
Hope this helps.
Rob
ps - yep, she got over it, but doesn't want to come out on track again with me. I trying to get her to have a drive of the 964 on the pcgb donnington day in June!!

Steve,
Should have tried my Pole Positions at Brunters! I had to pop an extra inch of foam in the bases as I suffer from Ducks Syndrome, but apart from that fantastic.
You did mention an up and comimg event at Silverstone ( in my diary at work) so should be there, mot, service, Pagid Yellows , Braided hoses etc. next week - so all will be go again. Can't wait
Steve
p.s. should anyone be interested I have many photo's of mine being stripped out by the PO, may be helpful?

Indeed, I did have a good look at your PPs and I agree that they would still be me favoured choice. Seeing Rob's cobra imolas and the price they can be had for, has certainly given me food for thought though. With a strut brace that's just arrived to fit, a small oil leak to fix and being in the process of sorting out wheels/track tyres, I think it will be a few months before I get started on the seats.
Look forward to catching up with you again at Silverstone (but not literally
), if you can make it. 
p.s. I'm sure Rob won't mind you posting a few pics of the harness mountin points in this thread, to help us wannabe trackday modders

Centre console is the original with the vinyl taken off, sanded smooth and sprayed guards red.
Looks better in the flesh, camera makes it look orange!
