I must admit building a custom Dolomite is a personal thing & I do sometimes think if this car hadn't come up when it did I would not have sold VHK to Mart & I would probably be driving round in a nice standard VHK by now.
Top hose has just got a joiner in it no fan controller.
Expansion bottle is from a Volvo 850, I am pleased with how it fits.
So onto todays shinnannagans:
Fitted the carpet set, then onto the fitting of the Rover 45 leather seats.
I couldn't get the back seats to fit without fouling the rear seatbelts, so gave up, so I am after a standard black set.
Then started the task of swapping the runners from the Dolomite front seats over to the Rover ones, drivers seat was first stripped all the Rover stuff off, swapped the brackets over as per the thread on here, then fitted the dolomite runners complete. I managed to avoid any welding & bolted the runners on.
Then the passenger seat, had to weld some extentions onto the rover brackets to fit the runners using the existing Dolomite bolts.
This all took most of the day, finally got the drivers seat fitted, looks very smart.
Big disappointment though, I am 6'2" and when I sit in the newly fitted seat my head touches the headlining, I reckon I can lower the brackets by about an inch, but I think these seats are just too big for the car, so a wasted day today which has really p*ssed me off as I am not sure I can remove & refit the runners of the drivers seat back to the Dolomite seat as it has been chopped a bit.
So if anyone around 5'8" or under wants some nice leather seats to fit straight into your Dolomite give me a shout, so I need a black Dolomite drivers seat aswell as the back seats please.
