Long story short but I used to have reclining buckets on omp frames in my rallye which I sat a bit high so decided to get some new omp fixed buckets with side mounts and weld in seat rails which from seeing others on here I was going to weld between the tunnel and the side and then bolt strait to the rails. Well all seemed strait forward until I offered the seats in.
Basically to get the seats central the mount still sits over the tunnel so not really got any lower.

Has anyone else had this issue as every picture I've seen looks as if the seats sit inbetween the tunnel and side of the car

Thanks although probably a bit off my welding skills but at least there Is a solution. Does everyone else just sit wonky?

Yeah which is the only way we could get it to sit right today thing is I will fit just pretty close to the roof especially once helmet is on but I guess I need to decide to chop or not lol. I guess the hardest bit is keeping the strength in the side once cut. I'll have a look tomorrow and see what's involved
Thanks for your help

Cool cheers all this cutting and welding kinda makes me wish I'd of started with a shell lol spend more time taking it apart and cutting/welding lately

Yeah may take longer than originally planned but if I need them that low it's gotta be done right

I wouldn't have removed the cross piece. But if you do it's a good idea to stitch weld the floor pan now as they can pull away if left unsupported.
