[MX145]

I found some rust across the front flange of the inner seat pan structure. (The piece that the subframe bolts to). I cut off the rust, treated and primed the rest of it and built a crossmember to run between both rockers to give the seat pan a good support to weld to and stiffen up the car. The gap in the crossmember fab pic is the bad lighting and cell phone camera. I chamfered the edges of all the pieces before I welded them.

Since the floor was in I permanently installed the passenger side connector, seat pan inner, and outer.

The crossmember fits great at the same height as the finished seat pan and sits about 1/4" below the floor on the bottom side of the car. I don't like how high it sits in the middle but wanted to error on the side of clearance for a t56 hopefully in the future. After looking at it in the car I'm going to slice the center section and lower it about 1/2 to 3/4". The bottom will stay in the same location but the tube will be about 1 1/2 or 1 1/4"x3 instead of 2x3. This should look better and still be high enough on the front side for the new higher transmission tunnel when the time comes.
