Mk2 ITB Newbie Build Questions

[mike.rodriguez]

I'm going to put all my questions in one thread to keep the forum less cluttered.

First question (well...my other wheel thread was really the first question)

Can I remove the lateral OEM seat mounting "tunnel" from the passenger side? I need to remove it because this car will be built to both ITB and Rally America specs so I want to get the co-driver seat as far back/low as possible.



Second question

Can I remove the rear seat frame from the car?


VW guys will know what part I'm talking about from this pic. (I know I need to relocate the battery back into the engine compartment. )

I didn't see anything in the rules saying it's forbidden but typically if it's not stated, I can't do it to be "legal"...gathered from my autocross days.
