My wife doesn't like the BB6 either, I have told her we can always go out in her car, then she puts up with them. Mind she doesn't like the seats in my other car either, says the BB6 and my other car's standard seats hurt her back.

I have even considered changing the passenger seat back to the standard and just have one BB6, but as soon as I do that she will complain that the BB6 is more comfy than the stock seat, which it is.

Roger, I had to get sub-frames from Master Forest to fit the BB6s, I guess J-Only-J will have done something similar.

You would need a seat subframe to bring mounting points flat
Not fitted yet if weather holds will be tomorrow 
Not sure if gen4 seats are mounted with rail height differences like the gen3

Fitment on handbrake side is good 
Need to drill a couple of holes 
   
Outside rail needs a couple of 5mm thick tabs welding to match mounting holes 
Need to get some flat bar so can't finish it 
 
Can fit a couple of fag papers between the door card

Sorry for the delay, there must have been lots of posts on top so didn't see your reply. No need for more pics, the one with the base mounts supplied the last piece of the puzzle. I am looking at fitting a Swift Sport drivers seat. I drove a new model a couple of days ago just to check body fit and the control for my shoulders is much improved and the size of the seat is just inside available room, so that seems the way to go, so upward and onwards.

Cheers

Roger
