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.

Some research needed on this. Ross suggested to me it might have something to do with the fitting of the " Sutton Harness". Possibly that also has something to do with the square hole?
