I need to remove 1 of the rearmost seats on my D2 to give more space (car has rear aircon so the passenger side seat sticks out into the load area when folded as the 'alcove' houses the compressor etc), it looks easy with only 4 bolts to undo but I see a spring on the mounting and am worried that if I remove the bolts I might lose the spring tension (a bit like in an up and over garage door). Does anyone know if this will happen before I start?

Go on, just take it off, live dangerously!!!

You'd have heard complaints about hot bits here today - welding new front leg onto Edward II. Got a convincing list to starboard, but then the back wheels are not on the concrete, and the bit they're on slopes - I'm fairly sure the chassis part is in fact straight though - took some time to line it up and I had the front of the chassis on a pair of stands at the same height, with the axle on 2 more stands at the same height, so that in theory it's all parallel, and I also put the bumper on temporarily, and that lined up as well.
It might be that the springs need switching over... I'll see what it looks like when it's parked somewhere flat...
In other news the drag link looks crap, so I'll replace that and it's joints as well, while I've got the front deck and the bumper off and it's easier to get at it.

I don't have a mig, so it must have been me. :-)
