Will I fit into book chassis?
I'm 6'4" will I fit into the book chassis or do I need to extend?

Mate is 6ft3 - he fits in fine...
They are longer than you think ;-)
Only 'CONSIDERATION' is getter a Taller 'ROLL BAR'
The standard sized Roll Bar will probably be too low.
Roll Bar should be above your head for obvious reasons

Choice of seats, pedal box type and position, steering wheel size and inside leg measurement all have an influence, long legs are more difficult to
accommodate than a long body!

Fat Ba***rds fit - it just means you don't rattle around.
Long legs are more difficult to accomodate.
As is a long back, come to think of it. I'm longer in the back than the legs and it meant I looked over the top of the screen with the seat in
the car. Remove seat - job done. So - if you're 6'2" and generously proportioned like me, remove the seat and fit snuggly into the
car.

Will a cushion instead of a drivers seat pass SVA then Zilspeed.

You've got me there. Fit a seat and get a short a**e to drive it to the SVA, then modify as required post SVA....
P.S. Remember, if you're sitting that much further back, steering wheel is very likely to be too far forward and too low as well.
All borne of bitter experience.

Any reason that a bench style seat (as per Ron's book) would fail SVA? With a bit of foam scultping to fit your bum I reckon you could make it
quite comfy. They give loads of room as well.

I am planning bench seat arrangement for mine with padding on the outside and the tunnel at the hips. I have a Crapi axle and only 14" width on
the driver's side!
