Let's see CSX2345, the ONLY 289 FIA team Cobra to exist in largely non-restored condition has a seat that differs from yours but you have the proper "FIA" seat? The photos that you reference can be broken down like this...

1) Upper left, very hard to see seat, photo of a restored "USRRC" Cobra.

2) Lower left, you used this as a reference for a driver's seat?! You can't even see the seat. By the way I spoke with the SAI team mechanic that was the crew chief for this Cobra and the mechanic that built this Cobra when delivered to SAI and he said that he put the same seat as the other "FIA" Cobras used.

3) Upper right is Ken Miles personal "USRRC" team Cobra, note the dash layout it is unique to this Cobra. This is the seat that was used in subsequent SAI race cars like the comp 427 and the GT350Rs. There were many "one off" features on this Cobra that other Cobras did not receive.

4) Another one of those poor reference photos.
