Seat Install

[HVACMAN]

What have you guys used to mount the seats? I would like some ideas. I have looked at the mounts from Breeze but surely that is not the only option.

Andy, I bought these sliders and then used some metal brackets to raise the sliders 3" off the floor for better forward visibility. At the time I did this I couldn't find any uni strut which would have made raising the slider brackets easier.

Are you using the hardtop? If so, how is the head clearance with the 3" lift.

[JimLev]

Yes, I'm using the hardtop. I'm 5'8" so your headroom may be more/less depending. I had 3 to 4" above my head to the top. At the moment I have the body off the car so I can't recheck it.
I'm considering raising the drivers seat a little more, just need to have enough clearance for a helmet.

I'm 5'8" also. I used to be 5'10" before gravity and a quadruple cervical fusion. lol When I get the body on I should be able to tell more. I just need to remind myself to check it with the top on since I plan to permanently attach the hardtop.

I'm 5'11" and with just the seat and no sliders its just about right. However, if I raise it a bit I will then need to lean forward to see the traffic lights so i am not sure that i will raise them until I have some real road under me. Right now I have lots of room above at least 3".

I am 5-9, seat on floor with permanent top and liked it but because of back did some work on seat which raised about 1 1/2 inch. I liked it better lower.
