Seat tapping on the rollbar
A mate of mine has an MK Indy with the GRP seats in, both his dad and him who drive the car are 6ft 5 plus and have to push the seat right back as far
as it will go to fit in.
The problem is whilst driving the car the top of the seat ( head rest part ) taps on the roll bar and is driving them mad, as well as taking the
powder coat off.
Any ideas for a cure?, thought about some sort of pipe lagging foam but it to thick.
thanks

Put a couple of washer under rear fixing bolts to lift back of seat up, would imagine 2mm washer should do the trick

or indeed tip it back a little, so it rests firmly on the roll bar

i have spacers under the back of my seat rails in a haynes roadster works a treat. i did it to make the seat back angle and chassis angles match, that
gave me another chunk of legroom with the seat able to go further back

Remove the seat runners and bolt seat straight to floor

I'd fit some self adhesive foam padding to the roll bar to protect it and remove the tapping noise. Halfords do some cheap for number plate
fixing foam pads 2-3mm thick in black that should do the job.

I had the same problem - I used this stuff on the edge of the seat where it made contact:

Looks like it would work and from experience Woolies are good to deal with as well.
