O.K then Rich, What about from the bottom hook to the top of the seat back?

Ok my camera has died so you will need to wait for images. The top of my seat back is level with the base of the angle iron that runs behind the drivers head, the measurement from the bottom of the seat hook that mounts to the bulkhead to the bottom of the angle iron is 130mm, the outer most hook is almost touching the armour square mounting plate (you could get a fag paper in between)

I will try and get some older images.

O.K Rich, Can you hook your tape under the bit that's screwed to the back of your seat (where it goes in the hook) and tell me how far to the top of the plywood?
Any one with an original seat back is welcome to chime in

Are the MK1's and MK2's different? It very much looks like it. I have an original seat back in my MK2 (with square hole in the middle) and the bulkhead and bracketery are all original. But the seat back is much lower. Ron

i may need to drop my bracket then

EDIT: No I don't, I just checked some pics of Kev's mk1 and it's the same as mine... The Mk2 must have a smaller seat back.
