tbeagley Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hi all, was won dering if anybody could help with pannel identification on my series 3,88" or if there is an exploded view of body pannels available. I aquired it in kit form, with all the floor stripped out for chassis painting & i think i have a few bits missing under the seat box.I have one piece that has been cut, i assume to remove rust that i think came from under the passenger seat.(see pic) What else should there be under the seat box? And can anybody identify these bits, i cant see them in the L/R Manual anywhere (18" long, alloy). Cheers for any help, i didn't realise how hard putting a pile of unidentified bits together could be, cheers again, Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjeremy Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 The top picture shows the bottom of the under seat tool box. There should be another sloping bit which covers the chassis member. Original was plain steel, sometimes with a battery box let into the bottom - so if yours is something else its not original. Early S2's may have had alloy panels. Replacement: http://www.yrm-metal-solutions.co.uk/023--ns--under-seat-tool-box-20-p.asp The 2 plates are part of the top of the seat box (and I think are shown in the S3 parts book) Sorry its a case of juggling them around till you find out where they come from (or indeed if they are spare) I'd have thought there should be more of them.

Gremlin Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 The 2 panels go at the outer edges just under the seat rails G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbeagley Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Cheers Guys, looks like i'm in need of two underseat boxes then. Thanks for your help. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_P Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 On an 88, you only have one underseat box (nearside). The other side has no space as that's where the fuel tank goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbeagley Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Hi again guys, Just a thought but do I need to retain the underseat toolbox, or can it be left open like the centre section? Cheers, Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rich, I realised that after i posted. A classic case of opening my mouth without my brain engaged. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Can be left open, mine doesn't have one. Would be useful to have though, if yours can be made to be good once more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
