MK3 Coupe rear seat wells
Posted: Sun Mar 26, 2017 11:14 am
I popped down to Alistair's factory yesterday and whilst there we were discussing the modified handbrake cable and how difficult it is to install on the MK3 project car at his factory. What I did notice is the rear seat wells on this MK3 were far deeper and covered part of the rear subframe and completely hid the handbrake cable.
The other MK3 coupe at Alistair's factory had the shallower seat wells the same as on mine and the register did show this and my MK3 being later built so we think the Corby factory may have made this modification on later coupes to aid the fitting of the handbrake cable.
I wonder if anyone else was aware of this modification.
I only wish I had took my camera with me. (shame on me).
