This nothing new.

I am a big guy with a big belly so fitting in behind th 18" wheel was impossible with the after market seat being bolted on top of the original seat pedestals.

Bought a 51 parts truck for the seat, original wheels and spare 235.

Yanked the after market seat and cutout the extras and installed factory bench. Fit better but not good enough.

Option 1 shorten the steering column
Option 2 go with after market seat mounted to floor
Option 3 build a replacement seat
Option 4 small steering wheel and power steering/ tilt column

I am working on option 3

Purpose of this post-- the middles support brace on the seat frame sits about 1/4" higher than everthing else... I added 1/4" on bottom of the 3/4" creating a grove for the center brace.

Foam next!

My first project... just had to share
