PVC pipe cockpit help?

[RickyUK]

Hi new here, just getting into F1 2011. I want to build my own pvc pipe cockpit, I need advice on seat mounting...

How would I mount a stacking chair type seat like in this photo...

There should be four threaded holes in the bottom of the chair where the legs where mounted. Drill some holes in the wood base and put the right size bolts in them to secure the seat.

Of course, thankyou very much

One more thing, best way to mount the mdf panels for the wheel/pedals to the pvc pipes?

Hey ricky, thats my original design and photo from my build some 2 years ago.
Originally i used 4 roofing screws with spacers to drill up into the original seat mounts.
Anyhow the seat was too low, gave me a sore butt and aching back. I will have to post an ongoing update as to where this original rig is now.
God such an old pic from overclockers forum australia, i laughed when i saw it.
