TD5 seat box to fit TDI

As said in the subject, i have a TD5 seat box to fit in to my 90 that has the fuel tank under the drivers seat, what do i need to cut out on the base of the TD5 seat box so that it will fit over the fuel tank.
cheers

Just the box under the driver's seat, you don't need to cut it as such, just remove the rivets and, IIRC, a couple of spot welds.

You will also need to create a filler panel as the resulting hole is larger than the cover plate. http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net/

You'll need to make a plate to fill I'm around the transmission tunnel too as the one that the Td5 seatbox usually attaches to is far wider than the 200Tdi one, so there will be a gap.
