not off the top of my head , 2 are 6'+ , 2 are way shorter.
each gets his own steering wheel with different offset and the two shorties get a little sat pad insert.

Re: what I've been up to lately....
Question... (since I recently put a cage in my Miata)... where do your door bars hit. I don't see them in any pic posted, and since the hoop only comes down to the back deck (a design I wanted changed with my new cage) I'm curious how that worked.
My cage hoop now hits the floor and my door bars hit the hoop. The hoop *used* to only go to the back deck, and the door bars went into the vertical part of the back deck. That always looked a bit shakey to me in my car...
Please don't take this as some kind of challenge to your cage design, because I'm far from knowing the ins and outs of it, I'm just curious...

Re: what I've been up to lately.... (Doctor CorteZ)
Good solution... I know in my car nobody too much taller than me could get into it since the cage does restrict seat movement backwards. Thanks for the additional pic. Post finished ones when you have them. I'd like to see it.

those are rosets , instead of simply seam/stitch welding the plate in you spot weld it as well.
the box structure we attached to was 3 layers of metal , drill thru the first two to attach the bottom layer , each roset is in line with the frame rails and offset with factory spot welds.
there is zero deflection in the cage mounting this way , and you can tie more of the unibody together at the same time.

Re: what I've been up to lately.... (Doctor CorteZ)
Dang those are some big backing plates. Do they measure out to the 100 inches per plate (I'm pretty sure thats the rule)?
The thing back behind the driver that attaches to the rear bulkhead *and* the floor/rocker box is a neat idea.

yep , 98 square inches actually , the large design links alot of the actual structure of the car together quite well.
no side of the plate can be longer than 12" so they are at the maximum limits and fall into place nicely with our design.
