What you do is cut out the fiberglass floor under the seat around the circumference or where is curves around the tunnel, back and sides, keep it in one piece. If I recall you dont need to cut the front....it may bend enough to let the back of it slope down.

Then cut the brace under the seat, lower it 1-2" and then put extenders on it to hold it while making sure the angle is so that it is flat against the cut out fiberglass that will now drop 1-2" lower. Then you can re-glass in the fiberglass panel, or do like I did and replace it on the sides (the pie slice gaps) with aluminum bonded to the lower cockpit where it was cut out.
