You will need to fit a reinforcing frame under the floor for the seat mounting bolts and the central seat belt mountings.

Most of us made an "H" pattern in angle iron that bolts to the lower chassis rails.

Do you have a photo of what you've done please?

When I started my build I was a little shocked at the lack of videos. I actually have the VHS tapes somewhere and can confirm that the stuff on YouTube matches the contents of the tapes. But as time goes on, the lack of instructions is kind of handy as it means your build is not "restricted" by a design on paper. 

@Mash Potato how far have you got with your build? I took my partial built 2b apart to paint the entire chassis as it has been sitting for 15 years. I am glad I did as I saw many things that I was not happy about, and took the time to correct them. 

The car was bought around 90% done, just the finishing touches. But sometimes these take the time. My chassis is stainless, I assume

they were not all then?

Did you ever find this, as I'm also after it?

Hi all,

Just bought a partly built 2B. I'd like to get a copy (ideally electronically) of the build videos. I think I can find a few on you tube, but not sure they are all there. Is anyone here able to help?

I’m near Newbury, building up an old 2B kit with Mazda MX5 powertrain.

Thanks, sounds like a very interesting build.

I'm in Maidenhead, just finishing an Exmo build.

What are you building?

Great, thanks for the reply. I am building a Sierra based 2B kit. I'm not familiar with the Exmo, how does it differ from the 2B?

Hi all, looks like I'm about to take on an unfinished Robin hood car. It would be good to get to know other local owners, but it does not look like there is an owners club meeting near me. I'm based in Berkshire, anyone else near me?
