Thanks for the replies everyone!
Tommy, Did you have to shift the seat against the transmission tunnel and then angle it toward the front left tire in order to both clear the wing at the door and also be able to operate the pedals? My midstates has a narrow footbox (wide trans tunnel at the front), which puts the pedals somewhat to the left as you sit in it.
Also, I ordered a 16" seat and it does not squeeze me in. I can slide a little, but not far. I measured my hips as Kirkey says to, but the seat seems a little big. I did not get my driving suit on, so maybe that will fill the gaps if I am fully geared-up. Do y'all have a tight squeeze, or do you run with a little bit of space?
Thanks for the word on the ProDrag seat. I may have to look into that one and just give up on the shoulder bolsters, but I really like the way they control upper body motion.
How about modifying the shoulder bolster wing to clear the door? I there any down-side to that thought? I know I'd need to reupholster, but I am considering having leather covers made in the color of my choosing anyway...
Thanks for any comments folks may have
