    Seat platform height

    Has anyone used the 69, 70 seat platforms in a 67, 68 for more head room? I keep reading about it in the magazines, They are much shorter. It seems to make more sense than modifying the taller 67, 68 platforms. I recovered my seats and used brand new high density foam, now i sit way to high, im 6'2" already, so this didnt help. Should have kept the old broken in stuff. Just might have to cut some foam out.

    Actually go to mustangs plus tech page. There's an article on how to lower your seat platform. That's what I did and it works great!

    If you do lower your seat riser, just be prepared for a LOT of work.

    Re: Seat platform height

    yes I did see the mustangs to fear video, but I kind of like the headliner look. I also read that it takes head room away. I know each car is different, but on most cars, it seems that the top of the seat back is some what level the top of the door. ( low backs of course, 67-68) Mine are higher.
    .  Hey, did you check out the mustangs to fear video on the windshield install? Once you see this, you will want to try it, and it really works well! Any way, I think I'll try the smaller seat plat forms- after I find my electrical problems! Aaahhhhh!  :-/:-/
