Update on the Seats in the FD.
Since installing the seats I have replaced the stock steering wheel with a momo also added the nrg tilt the short adapter and one spacer.
This and ditching my motor bike helmet for a car helmet has improved this immensely.
Though I would still like the seat a little lower in the back and a bit higher in the front.
To do this I have decided to take the sliders off the base, and filp the base then reinstall the sliders, hopefully with a little grinding in spots and cutting off and re-welding the bases front tabs I think I might get near an inch and a half AND still have sliders.
For those of you not keeping score at home this might get me 1/2 - to 1 inch under stock.
End of day round up:
It looks like it might work , I will have to swap the passenger base with the driver base ( DID NOT DO) because these mounts are just not quite symmetrical, I think they are out by a 1/4 inch but that is enough to make it not fit.
Lots of grinding and fiddling of the tracks to make it all fit, I even had to grind down 2 bolts heads so that they would clear each other.
In the end the first test sit, It seems perfect for me.
