CCX Cockpit Size
Hi guys, just a comment really.
I fitted one of my seats at the weekend so it's the first time I've been able to gauge the size of the cockpit, I was surprised how short it is. I'm only 5' 9" and need the seat as far back as it will go, so how does anyone taller get on or in? :JEKYLHYDE |
What kind of seats Kevin? We have a whole bag of tricks to get a big fella in them.

I always fit perfect in mine, I am almost 5'10"

Hi guys,
I think the seats I have are a little taller in the back rest than others so I think they would go back further if the were shorter. The rear of the back rest hits the rear deck. They are a traditional Cobra Style seat but a bit taller to help with our UK registration regulations they also have detachable head rests. Interiors Seating - RX1191 - Classic and Kit Car Seating - Cobra Replica Seat Specialists I also had them heated while I was at it. Sad I know, but I like to drive in the winter. |
I am 6'3" 287#. The original seats were unacceptable as it prevented any form of driving. I removed the seats and had some ("cushions") made that look exactly like the seat but rest on the floor and the bulkhead. I went down 6" and back 7". My head is now well below the top of the windsheild and I feel like I'm in the car rather than sitting on it.

You guys should see Shelby sitting in a Cobra. He was well over 6' and fit just fine. It amazed me to watch him get in and out...even at 84 years old.

Neat pic Dan, that's with a hard top on wow. Davids also got a steering extension to get the wheel a bit closer and get it away from his knees. Those custom seat cushions turned out great.

Yes Nick, that was a wonderful day. That is CCX 3209 before it got run over. CS signed the car and we spent a couple of hours talking. He was quite a guy. It was amazing to watch him with his 6'6" frame, fold up and slide into the car like he'd been doing it all of his life.
