27 Bolster installation
 

Friends,

I've acquired a set of bolster seats, side mount which are perfect for my lowered floor.
What I need help with is the distance from the steering wheel and throttles . . which will stay in the stock position . . how far back from the bulkhead and helm?

----Doing the same thing with Short Circuit, Mario. I would think as far back as is comfortable for you. Check your reach to anything important, etc.......Bill S

I also am doing same thing. I am adjusting for my comfort.
There is a thread on the formula forum with the factory measurements, can't remember the post now but will look.
Good luck.

Fellows!..............I'm doing the same bought these http://greatlakesskipper.com/baja-19...tainless-steel I'll be building the (seat & backs) wood frame for them not sure how they'll
turn out hoping for some pics or guidance!...................sorry Mario!

I have done it many times ...what ever is comfortable. Also front passenger does not have to be the same distance,that driver does because they lack steering and a dash.

Also it depends on your state of fitness
Personally,i put a little more away because i think i gain weight over the next few years!!...

Thank you all . .
Gio, I'll need to consider that as I'll be eating in Italy for 3 weeks this fall . . ;-)

----I have the same frames, Scippy. Mark put me on to them. I really felt that they were a great deal for the money, so bought two sets. 1 for Short Circuit and the other for the Spitfire.......Bill S

I agree, very sturdy and a great finish on them................would love to see how your going to finish them!

----The wood is done, but naturally, all the vinyl guys are wicked busy. I got a promise of the second week in June for Short C.......Bill S
