I'd looked in a Harrison cockpit once many years ago so don't recall the layout. The GF cockpit at the rear bulkhead has a coffin head style arrangement further limited by the floor being some 50mm below the rails making this shape.

This all works against getting a seat to sit low and makes the width of any seat used very critical in these cars.

The GF sourced seats are quite specifically designed for the space, so other seat choices can be limited, particularly if you want to use runners too. This is probably the main factor I'd rate negatively about this kit.

If you are using MX5 seats, and your cockpit is fairly flat and regular in shape, I reckon the seats will be easily fitted into your car. Perhaps I need to get to your shed and have a look!

Cheers

Just in case it helps, I also had some "issues" with the DRB not having too much room for seats.
In my search for some MX5 seats at the time, I came across some RX7 Series 6 seats.....they turned out great.

Not too many seats out there that are slim enough to fit some of the different Cobras.

Thought this might help ,

Regards,
Warren.
