I have been struggling to get the seat height right in my tack car for ages, the problem is when you put your helmet on your head hits the roof :n:

So i swapped from a bottom mount seat to a side mount seat , I also used a sparco seat frame, after messing around for days i managed to get it to fit sort of.

So finally today I popped up to see Andy at Geronimo cages to see if he could get it to fit better. And he did :y: by using Cobra side mounts & bolting the seat direct to the floor without the sparco frame its a much better fit.

No banging your helmet any more & a much lighter solution :y::y::y::y:


I will put up some photos as soon as.

All depends on the mounts if you have a frame plus a slider it may be close.
