Thank you for your replies Yes, I have tried different locations. Nothing feels strikingly comfortable to this stiff fat old man. It seemed reasonable that midway between the door and the trans tunnel would be the place for the seat. Unfortunately, I have the innate ability to consistently, after carefully considering all the correct options to make the only wrong choice. There is an old magazine article with a drawing placing the seats next to the trans tunnel and I wondered if that is where the seats are placed in the original Cobras and also if there were some reason for that ie more leg room, less air over the occupants with the top off, easier entry/exit etc. I have older Shell Valley fiberglass based vinyl seats. The chassis has no steel brackets. The seats will need to be mounted to the floor anywhere they are put. I would like to approximate the original Cobra position if reasonable but practicality gets priority. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for your replies.

Rick
