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
