"What you can get in? oh that's too bad"
I'm not sure whether to go for fixed seats or on runners yet. Any thoughts, ideas etc.?
I have Cobra Roadster 7 seats.

Fixed unless there's a good reason why you need runners, they're really heavy!
fixed seats helps keep out friends who might crash it, especially of your like me and shorter than them

Runners are heavy? Got mine off a Citreon C4 and they are quite light. Very helpful for ajusting the seat to get at the area behind to store tools, water other sh1t etc.
I got some very low profile allumium runners, that weigh naff all, and only added 23mm to the seat height.

Its a toy for me, and I want my mates to be able to play too - and my wife too for that matter.
So my driver seat is on runners - passenger is fixed.

Ditto but I was TOLD she had to be able to drive it, that and the fact that it had to have 4 seats else I couldnt have one.
My runners came from intatrim and they are Ali and very low profile couldnt tell you the actual measurement but certainly no more than an inch
That was my thinking too (cos I'm such a nice guy
Mmmm have the roadster7 seats not to be hard against the rear bulkhead then????? I thought they had due to lack os support in a rear end shunt???
Someone confirm or slate this???
I'm having both my seats on runners.
My brother-in-law used to have an Elise with fixed passenger seat and found it really annoying that he couldn't stuff a bag behind the seat (and
then squash it by moving the seat back).
So I guess it depends what your intended use is. I want to be able to go away on driving hols so am building in a few (southern) comforts but I
wouldn't if I was building a track biased car.
Just my two-penneth!

sorry, just sawe all thr posts asking where I got my seat runners from.... They were from 'RatSport', but I believe MWS also sell the same
ones (and may even supply RatSport with them).

ford runners are quite low and are not that different to recaro ones.square shape rover 200/400 are like recaro ones to.
So don't the roadster seven seats need to be against the rear bulkhead then??? Have I been misguided??
Probably but then if you're 4 foot 9 the car's going to be short if you're doing that. Surely you can pull it a few inches closer so
the missus can have a go 
My Roadster 7's are mounted on Renault 5/11/18 seat runners. They are 1" high and they adjust from a bar at the front so you car screw
whatever handle to it that you lke.
They must have 9-10" of travel
