Hey there, I have a question for Custom Sport owners regarding the front bucket seats. I'm around 188cm tall, when I mock up the seats brackets to the areas they were cut out from and move the seat all way back "my knees cover my ears". Is that normal? Or maybe there's something wrong with my bucket seats? The bench was more or less ok.
I'm thinking of moving the brackets about 10cm back, has anyone done something similar?

I may be wrong, but think there is only one position for the seat to mount on to. I am average height around 5-10 and have adequate room so maybe the mounting brackets are too far forward?..
If I get time today, I will look at mine and see if I can get a reference point for where the mount should be.
Interesting, that seems about the same measurements that I have... Maybe steering wheel is too low. But it's literally touches my stomach even if I sit in the farthest position. Especially interesting for a 2 door 5.5m long car:)
I think I'll just ask the welder to move the brackets as far as possible within the anchor areas.
These old cars do not have excess front to back room, the wheel is deep, not flat too. People were smaller back then.
