My floors are dropped about 3" for clearance. The rear support was my addition. It follows the body line to help support the rear cowl area,as well as mount the belts. I found that this small change in the floors made the comfort level much higher for my height (6'2") and helped minimize the buffetting felt at speed. I also use an MG seat frame, from which I trimmed 2" from the back support to imitate the original seat size. I had both trimmed to the Cobra style. I liked the MG seats because they are metal frames (not 'glass as EM sells) and the back of the seats fold forward--no hot seat in sunny parking! The drawbacks are that they dont have the side bolsters that the OE style seats do, but overall I think they are more comfortable. My belts exit the cabin just north of my shoulder line and attach directly to the frame support, with a very short belt being required. Last bit, I also welded supports to the frame that traverse the cabin under the car to capture the seat bolts, so that the fiberglass cabin is sandwiched between the metal seat frame and a plate of steel welded securely to the frame. This H shaped addition also captures the antisubmarine belt bolt so that all the belts attach to frame. Pics will follow as soon as possible.
