seriously how about a moulded foam insert - which can be removed when your taller co driver uses it?
Evenin all
Fitted the new fibreglass seat yesterday and there is a problem, erm... I can't really see anything.
OK I'm about 5'-6" not much I can do about that I probably stopped growing about 35 years ago.
When the Cobra's were in there it was fine, I was pretty low down but fthey had nice thick padded seat bottoms and forward visibilty was good,
with the fibreglass ones my bum's about 1/2 inch off the floor of the car and I can't really see over the scuttle.
What's the best way of raising the seats, I'm probably looking for 4-5 inches and the solution has to work with seat runners as I share the
car with Luegojnr and he's 4 or 5 inches taller than me.
cushion?

Fit a booster pad!
Sorry could not resist.
I would guess a welded frame with 5 inch spacers.
If you just used spacers I think they would end up bending the floor or other parts after a while. Your would need to fit under the seat runners.

plank of lightweight wood under the runners?
nothing fancier than some hardwood under the runners needed
I used a bar of aluminium at the base and some rubber doorstops I got off ebay for £2 for a little extra cushioning.
Seems to work well.
i did have 3x1inch box section which seat runners on the bottom of teh box, on my fiberglass seats, but then i grow and that was before the sva, so i
put it down to 1inch box section with runners as it was the only way of keeping the runners i needed.
seat runners mount
seat mounts

Remember to make it strong enough! When the seats come loose in a accident it will not be pretty.
I had this problem changing from roadster 7's to fibreglass shells, i can just about see the top half of my headlamps.
I decided to leave it as when on the move I look down the road not at the nosecone.
Just a thought, Dan.
