    How to mount front and rear side clips

    My CAV is about 95% finished but I can't figure out how to mount the clips that hold the front and rear clips on the sides. Have the clips mounted to the fiberglas but can't see where the "hook" parts mount. Any help would be appreciated.

    DO NOT BUY FROM T& L Engines!!

    Don't think so...no instructions on suing the bastards! I have contacted North Carolina Attorney General and the BBB and will call the Sheriffs office tomorrow. Found an interesting thread on Bing re T&L. Seems they are chronically piss poor about delivering what they promise.

    Thanks Guys!! This pm I discovered what David so kindly pointed out...the inserts in the seats are velcroed in w/ a bolster. After that seat removal was easy. Got the tunnel out and managed to fit both the shifter and the handbrake with cables. Tomorrow the go fast pedal!! I really...

    Seat removal

    Cliff, Thanks for the input. The seats are all the way back against the bulkhead and I dont see any signs of bolts near the front of the seats. I looked under the car and don't see any obvious bolts there either. Don't know if CAV changed the mounts or what, but I will persist!! By the way I...
