Thanks all!

The reported "family" oriented supported of Unique Motorcars products is one of the reasons I decided to go with a Unique, along of course with the quality of the product itself.

Both reputations are well earned!

I'm not real tall as I'm only 5'9" tall; I'll try mounting the seat directly to the floor, and if I need additional clearance, I'll give Maurice a call to order a taller roll bar.

Wow, I even got a response from Alan Weaver!

Cheers!

Jim,

I'm tcolley and had Alan build a taller rollbar for my Unique FIA as I am 6'3" tall with a 37" sleeve length. Originally it was 6" taller than stock but we lowered it to only 4" above stock because it just didn't look quite right. However, with my seat bolted to the floor and with my helmet on...the 6" would have been better. I have to slouch down to stay below the rollbar. If I were to take the padding out of the seat it would be just about right, however, not to comfortable.

Check with Alan to see if he can build you a taller bar that will bolt in without to many alterations to the body.

Regards,

Terry

A vintage comp seat is also an option. I put one in my car and it is very comfortable, even with only a 1/4" of padding. I did a 4 hour run one way to N.J. and had no comfort issues.
