another bit of progress....

took 4 hours to get the seat in a position i was happy with and remove the mounting brackets from the original seat etc.

so for the astronomical price of

ok so the discs didn't fit!! and the caliper bolts were already rounded off to i had to take it off from the carrier.

not that it matters as the discs don't fit!! ( did i mention that? )

i came to the conclusion these were possibly 4X108 fitment and a 64.1 bore

steering itself towards the ford escort.

so they are going back monday.....

gonna be fitting these in may/june hopefully anyway.....
