Default 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 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.
