OK - here's my stats...
From the floor to the top of the seat squab is 20cm
From the floor to the bottom of the crossbrace is 33cm
So I've got 13cm clearance, but that's on a car with a lowered floor - without that it would be slightly less.
How does that compare with yours?
Sorry to be thick...what is the seat squab?
I'll measure up tomorrow...might as well start 2017 with a bang eh!

The cushion that's frontmost on the seat. The one that the underside of your knees rest on.
What's the height at the very front of that?

They look like cobra 7 seats on low runners
Strikes me the problem is the brace not the seating

I some times go out in a MNR and they have a tube going diagonal forward parallel with the floor it makes a nice shelf too look at a mnr chassis
Have a look at the second photo on this link

here you can see a GBS customer sitting in the car and it looks like his shin is touching the mentioned chassis tube.
for me it looks like a tall driver, with the seat adjusted more backwards, wont face this problem.
(pic borrowed from GBS-page, but face blured)

I'd be chopping that out if it was mine, looks like a leg breaker in an impact that would force you forward.

GBS seems to follow the "great" engineering route that RobinHood has started...

There is an active set of members in the Leicester area on Rhocar, worth signing up there and seeing if you can have a look at some of the others
cars.
