18 months! Life goes by to quick doesn’t it.

Great start on the speaker holes, they will be great when it’s finished, are you going to fit seatbelts?

Hi Ian,

Time certainly flies.


The speaker holes were a real issue to my head as I prefer the clean metal look.

Yes, I plan on fitting seatbelts, they are a part of my psyche, so I feel mush better with them fitted.

Do you have advice?

Thought I would add a short clip of JB driving the joggler off the compressor.

C10 speaker hole delete. Joggle - YouTube

Certainly a tool worth its price if you are doing panels with good metal.

Not sure how much hard work a manual one is.

Hi Rian,
I too am going to fit 3 point seatbelts. When thinking about how I might do this, the task that perplexes me the most is how to fit and weld the threaded retainer plates into the cab pillars for the upper (shoulder) mount. It occurred to me, perhaps too late now, that the speaker holes would provide the perfect access.

Martin was explaining today Ian.

There are a few ways to do it.

I want to find a set of red retractable belts.

And will fit a third seat belt too.
