Biggest problem I have with all of these dropped floorpans is, to have fore-and-aft adjustability you must cut a floor support crossmember- the one just in front of each seat- which weakens the whole floor structure. Choice #2- you leave the crossmembers in place and simply make a big hole in the floor, bolting the seat(s) solidly to the dropped floor with no adjustability.
With my 6'2", 200-lb body, I'm comfortable with stock floorpans- even with a helmet on, simply by having stock early seats reupholstered in good materals and adding a simple rake adjustment to the stock seat backs. We routinely make 500 mile trips with no backaches. FWIW.... |

Jack--I think?
I totally redesigned the pans and was able to keep the front///bottom of the original cross-member in tact and supply a new reinforcement which makes it stronger than original---which is not that hard to do. I also supply new seat mount rails and my pans are 16 gauge steel rather than 20 gauge. These pans fit the car far better than any this built to date.
