    Seat pan location?

    Since I lost my marks when i installed the vert inner rockers I no longer know exactly where the seat pan goes.  yes I can eye ball it with the floor pan holes but I would really prefer an actually measurement.   A measurement from the seat belt hole in the rocker to the back of the seat pan would be a good solid reference.

    Re: Seat pan location?

    I don’t know that I would bother with a measurement. I think there is better luck with long bolts in the seat pan to center it through the holes on the floor pan.

    If you are thinking about scooting the seat pan back to gain leg room, be aware that too far back will make it impossible to get a socket to the back bolts. It will also cause issues with how the front carpet fits.

    Not a bad idea with long bolts.  No plans on moving it back, I’m only 5-8.   Lol
