12 mm. The inner fixing was bolted
through the rear most screw hole by the
side of the transmission tunnel, again
after being drilled out to 12 mm. The
plates supplied must be used to ensure
the mounting points have the required
strength to anchor the seatbelts se-
curely. Note, if choosing a stiff buckle
stalk, check the length first. In the Klip-
pan series, I found the middle size was
comfortable for all seat positions.
A quick release on the outer side con-
nection point was required to allow the
hood to be raised or lowered. A 5 tonne
strength "D" shackle (10 mm thick
stainless steel) and a right angle mild
steel bracket (6 mm thick by 50 mm
wide by 50 mm high and 40 mm across)
was used to couple to the floor mount-
ing. A piece of nylon cord tied around
the "D" shackle bolt prevents an embar-
rassing loss of the shackle bolt when
operating the "quick release" mecha-
nism, probably in the rain with the pas-
senger expressing his or her disap-
proval with this additional delay in rais-
ing the hood.
A reminder, normal operations will
resume for the remainder of the year,
from March to October on the 2 nd and
4 th Saturdays of each month.
On November 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30, and
December 7 and 14, 2019, the club
rooms will be open in advance of the
Club’s financial year of 2020, to re-
ceive subscription payments, update
or replace log books and stamp blue
registration papers.
