Man even matched his shoes to his car. Nicely done. Good video. Thanks.

[@tweedbean]

Thanks for watching!

[@DanEvans-yb6wk]

Noticed the matching shoes. Nice work! Tweed, your presentation is great! I am psyching myself up for a fuel filter replacement job. The seat removal should be simple, thanks to you. Cheers!

[@tweedbean]

Thanks for watching, good luck

[@KillerKenDolls9327]

Thanks bud couldn't have been easier.

[@tweedbean]

Glad it was helpful

[@MrPhilbrooke]

Thanks found that really helpful. I have a strong smell of petrol coming from that area so I believe the fuel filter is under those black panels under the seat base.

[@tweedbean]

Glad it was useful? Hope you find the source of it

[@od628]

Will you be covering that area up with a rear seat delete or some type of cover? Also, are you planning on adding a sway bar?

[@tweedbean]

All to be covered in a future video but I current have a gp2 rear foam panel in there to cover it plus I have a Safety devices cage going in

[@TaiosTails]

The middle fixing where the upright part of the seats click in to (the first step), can this be removed so it's not sticking up?

[@tweedbean]

Yes I seem to remember you can

[@chris_cogan]

To fit the GP2 seat delete foam do you have to remove the seatbelts?

[@tweedbean]

Yes as there’s no hole for the seat belt buckles to come through, plus to fit it you remove the seats therefore no need for rear seatbelts

[@wimkederooie]

Thanks for the tips. It was super easy 👍👍

[@tweedbean]

You are welcome

Hey there. Nice vid, pretty straight forward. I have a question. Is there access from inside to top rear strout mount? I want to add the EDFC motor and im not sure if there is access panel frominside.. Or of there will be drilling involved 😂

[@tweedbean]

It’s been a while but from memory drilling may be involved

[@magicnm]

@@tweedbean well thats screwby one then xD ill try tomorrow to disassembly backplayes

[@MrShuntking]

About to do a rear seat delete on a 2013 Paceman R61. It has two buckets seats with a rail and cupholders. Is there anything special to look for when pulling them out?

[@tweedbean]

Hi I havent removed seats from an R61 before but I would assume nothing special with them

[@MrShuntking]

@@tweedbean My make and model just seems to fall into that void of lack of information, and aftermarket parts.

[@TheOursus]

Thanks mate brilliant,got a water leak somewhere,will take seats out dry them and look for the leak,thanks again.

[@tweedbean]

Thank you, good luck with sorting your leak

[@topherspeed3361]

Thank you!

[@tweedbean]

No problem thanks for watching

[@elliehowarth1454]

Can the seats be put back in after removing them? X

[@tweedbean]

Yes just reverse the steps

[@barrettnichols4987]

Thanks for the great vid, the paneling under my rear seats is actually all black so it doesn’t look as wierd with the seats removed. Might not order a cover then

[@tweedbean]

Just watch out for the bolts on the top of the petrol tank covers as they can be quiet sharp if you are putting things on top of them

[@the_little_car_project]

any chance you know the weight of the items removed?

[@tweedbean]

Sorry I do not but thanks for watching

[@yodings]

Yo, did that car come with yellow belts or what?

[@tweedbean]

Previous owner fitted them. Custom made

[@think2cre81]

Thank you it was helpful ☺

[@tweedbean]
