Jim,
Yes, have placed the battery in the footwell, and there is adequate room for my legs. I'm 6'2", and I would be comfortable sitting in the passenger's seat with the battery fitted in the footwell.
Here's a pic of the footwell. I'm sitting in the passenger seat and I have to stretch my feet out - with my legs straight - to touch the front of the footbox.
Remember, he [Cobra] is RHD. No battery in place, obviously.
I remember thinking some time ago that, because of the depth of the footbox, I might need to provide a footrest of some sort (like the "flipable footrest" fitted to Datsun 240/260Z's passenger side).
If I do mount the battery here, I will provide an angled footrest panel (easily removable for battery access).
Will post pics if that's the way it pans out.
Cheers!
Glen
