I'm ab your size minus 2 inches and a few lbs. Here's what I did:
Buy Sparco Chrono.
Shave the butt portion of the seat bottom by an inch.
Remove the thigh bolsters and re-weld the metal thigh framework so it's on the far outside of the seat framework - this gives you ab another 2 inches of hip room.
Fab a seat mount that's as low as it can go.
You save 3/4 of an inch by not using seat rails so you need to figure out exactly where you want the seat to sit before drilling the seat mount to fit the seat.
I like to drive upright. Didnt care ab reclining. So my seat was against the rear of the compartment. This means the rear right seat mount/floor bolt is not accessible from above. I ended up cutting a stubby 14mm ratchet wrench that had a reverse switch and welding it to that bolt's head.
Frankly, it all was a massive pain in the *** and I ended up adding rails after a year. But with your height idk if you could...
Feel free to hit me up if you have further Qs or ideas. I'm looking to improve the situation too
