Very nice Jamie. So...you feel like fabbing something up for some Sparcos I'm getting soon? I have the Wedge mounts, but am having trouble getting the seat to sit low enough so I have some excess headroom.

That's sort of like the seat bottom = floor approach in my meeotter. I think if I were to prep it for SM, I'd have to do something like that.

does it make a big difference in relation to pedals?

wouldn't it offset you in relation to the pedals or is the difference negliable?

moot in this case , but moving the pedals and steering column would be an easy task if needed.

Or do what I did (even though it may be just a wee bit harder to do ) I just cut out the center hump for the exhaust, and relocated the pedal assembly/steering assembly/shifter over to the right a couple of inches. I prefer sitting closer to the middle of the car. Using a Tilton pedal assembly makes this a little easier, and just make sure the two angles on the steering shaft U-joints are the same.
