So for all of this to work, I need to make sure this is all 100% functional when it's done.  I needed the seat to be raised up, moved forward, and still able to be safe and functional.

Next up the battery rack.  This is where I made my first mistake.  But I'll get to that later.  This is ultimately what lead to the deconstruction of everything.  But more on that later.

Now I needed to move on to the seats.  How I was going to handle that.  The first thing I knew was that the base was going to be solid.  Wood or not, a solid base tight against a piece of steel is a solid base.  So, wood on top of that is still solid.  Will it move if there's a serious accident, most likely, but not much.   I had a later idea of replacing it all with a steel frame, but without welding skills, I didn't have time for that.  So lets move to those pics.

Can't really see them on this pic plus they kind of sink below the foam.  But they're there.

So looking at that last picture, and thinking about the port in the enclosure that I built.  Can you see the problem here?  

IMG_1171 by Scott Carver, on Flickr

IMG_1172 by Scott Carver, on Flickr

Time for a new port I guess.

I prefer to have the flat headed screws, like the one in the middle here, but I didn't have any.
