Roll Cage: Seats Installed, almost ready to weld

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, the spec miata seat is a short seat pan and leaves your legs feeling unsupported. William Bonsell suggested elevating the front edge of the seat by about 1”. I tried this last weekend and it makes a big difference. So, today I bought some 1 1/4” angle, cut it to length, and then ground notches in it to get the seat angle “just right”. To support the steel, I cut some small squares to fit under the angle, and welded them in place.

Will do. Its in the passenger seat, so I won't know how it would feel in the driver's seat. All the same, I'll certainly report back.
