tonight iv mounted my drivers seat fully, they came with seat runners so iv managed to make use of them and iv welded some flat strip across them and iv managed to drill and tap a hole through the origional seat mount frame bit so iv bolted the drivers seat on, but the passenger seat iv made a sort of hinge at the front so i can tip the seat forward to i can gain access to the battery which iv mounted under the passenger seat, i thought a hinge would be faster than having to un bolt the seat off all the time.

i work for E-on at a power station and iv moved out from the mechanical workshop up to working in the control room. im in my 5th year working for E-on now :) after finishing my mechanical Apprentiship im now classed as a mechanical crafts person. but i will be starting to be trained up to become an AUO now an assistant unit operator, or so i am led to believe... its only my second day in this new 'role' so its still all a bit new to me as to what im supposed to be doing :lol:

best thing is to find yourself an Apprentiship as you learn on the job as well as doing coursework at the same time like im doing :) so im getting paid poo loads to go to college basically lol and they're paying for all the courses that i go on and everything :) best thing ever, better than any college or uni as i can get up to the same standard but get paid for it at the same time :)
