My seats are slightly cocked toward the doors by a couple degrees. It makes sense when you look at where your feet have to go in the narrow footboxes.

I've got 4.5 " off the centreline to the inside roll bar hole center. It is 1" back from cockpit edge to roll bar hole edge on both holes. That makes the roll bar line up with the cockpit but crooked to the frame, huh??

Just bolt the seat down where it is the most comfortable when driving. That is very important. There is not that much extra room where the seat goes anyway. I removed my seat adjusters and pushed the seat all the way back and at an angle. There is now a pronounced angle of the seat centerline ... its pointing toward the left headlight. But nobody notices it until I tell them. And its much more comfortable for my 6' 6" body.

Take a look at the pics in another thread ...
