Right now I've got Captains seats out of the back of an aerostar van. I've got the seats sitting flat on the floorboards now. I'm 6'2 and they're about too tall as it is. I'm pretty much looking at the windsheild frame. Does anyone have any ideas or pictures on how to mount these seats to my cage without raising them up any? They're really comfortable and in good shape, and I don't wanna have to buy new seats. Thanks

Actually I haven't built the front part of the cage or the frame for the seats yet. I've got the rear half in. I won't have my bender until saturday and I plan on doing it in the next couple of weeks. I'll try to get some pictures of the way the seats are mounted tomorrow when its light outside.

I had to lower my floor back to the body mount. Then I was able to get the cage bars low enough. I'm 6'4 and had the standard summit plastic seats. Now, I'm lower, but it cramps my legs a bit more, but I'd rather then be a bit tighter than my head sticking outta the cage. I'll try to get pictures later today

I am going to drop the driver's floor to match the passenger side. Other than that, your only other option is to run the cage tie-ins under the floor as GubNi mentioned.
