svwilbur,
thanks for the compliments on my 57.

i was able to dodge the rain drops and finally pull the cover off and get your measurments. here they are.

excuse my hand drawn pic. LOL. measurements are as close as i could get, give or take .250".

and when i am setting in the factory bench seat with the factory wheel, i have only about 2 inches of clearance from my belly. not much.

hope this helps. if you have any more questions, fell free to ask.
