How thick is the seat foam ? I went with 3 inch HIGH density foam on plans constructed seats.

Not to think the seats are just mounted high the owner was a short. Wanted to see how to lower them or how others are mounted.... I can come up with a way but want to make sure its right...

I am 6' 1" and fit just fine. I made my own seats to fit and made sure that the seatback was thin -- 1/2" temperfoam. I also have the roll bar moved up 3/4 inch per Lu Sunderland's design.
