Colin, I am also 180+cm tall and found that in my Harrison that the seats had to be low. I did order the extended length body as well. I tried the smaller Mazda seats with runners but found that I would be sitting too high. I eventually went for Warwick's (approved) seat frames and had them trimmed by Street Trim at Labrador. I bolted the seats straight to the chassis cross rails. I played around with various pieces of wood on the front chassis rail to get the right height and angle for me when the windscreen was fitted. When satisfied with the position I made up a steel section that bolts between the seat base and the front chassis rail. The rear of the seat frame bolts straight to the second chassis rail. This arrangement is easy to change in the future as I get shorter!
