Seats fitted, Cutoff switch in place, Coolant leaks resolved

I have decided to fit my actual seats and runners. I know these won't pass IVA however once they are all lined up and installed I will take them back out and put some temporary ones in place. The runners we bought were unfortunately advertised incorrectly and therefore the centre pull handle was a lot wider than expected! I therefore set about bending the handle arms until they fitted in place. I also drilled a further hole in each of the handle legs as the handle seemed to be sticking out miles in front of the seats. I resorted to using spacers between the runners and the floor just to give a little more room for the handle to move and down and lock properly in place. I will now be taking them back out to install the seats that we've got for IVA.


Next I fitted the cut off switch properly. The hole that Intatrim had cut for the cut off switch was really high on the carpeted side near the battery. This meant that the gas ram was interfering with it when the boot lid was closed. I repositioned this so when the switch is on it sits parallel to the gas rams when the boot is closed. I've used butterfly clips on the inside to ghold it all in place but to make it easy for me to remove if I need to. I am going to tidy up the cable in the background too...


I've also had some coolant leaks and on closer inspection I noticed a couple of the jubilee clips near the back of the heater box were not fully tight. After tightening these I added additional jubilee clips to the hose at the bottom of the rad just to make doubly sure I don't get any more leaks..
