captjoe222: The seat was a *****, I had to pull it out and wished I were in better shape or younger, its heavy and awkward.
The carpet has molded foam beneath the seat, that needs to be removed to allow the seat to sit lower. I used a pneumatic die grinder and cutoff wheel to section and remove the rear seat pillars. These little beasties provided the drop I wanted, the seat is too well designed to shorten, what with the motors and gear rack. I added a 1 1/2"wide metal strap between the rear bolts, under the car to provide a stronger anchor for the rear seat bolts. I used 8 grade bolts and then double nutted them from under the car. This is not easy and as we used to say in IBM, this is not a one bananna issue.[ a one bananna fix is one that any monkey can fix, if it gets more difficult you need to provide a second or third bananna to get er dun! ]
Maxwell, I would greatly enjoy the strap photo that you fashioned, it sound great. I would like if cause it would provide greater room and a bit of the european AC Bristol kind of flair.
Enjoy Woody
