Hi,

Does any know how comfy jimny seats are, they look small enough to be a pretty good fit for this project.

Cheers

Ian

I looked into MX5 seats, they are pretty comfy, small and could have speakers in the headrest

from what i read, the seats are not very supportive (jimny) but have no experience with this

Jimny seats arnt all that, they are firmer than the 1s that were in my SJ but then the SJs were nearly 20 years old and the Jimny only 10
Sid James gone but never forgotten
Jimny 1.6 not as good as an SJ but still good

Hi, done a bit more today, hung the stripped drivers door, just got to remove the decals. I also stripped the rear axle, only to discover that a few things are required, like new bearings, cylinders, and pads. Everything lol. Never mind. A bit more done. Also started having a look at my winch.

Cheers

Ian

Yo,

Any one know what size brake pipe and fittings go on a 413,

Suspect it's 3/16 pipe and 10mm fittings but would like to confirm before ordering some bits.

Going to replace the lot while I'm at it.

If any one has changed thiers any info would be cool,

Cheers Ian
