Author	Topic: seat riser structural?
CRB Gearhead Posts: 119 From: Raritan NJ Registered: Jul 2000	posted 05-11-2001 04:23 PM I just got a set of tracks to install seats from a 96 cobra. I really want to use the seat tracks from the cobra since the drivers seat is electric. However in order to do that I am going to have to completely remove the seat riser. the question is- is the seat riser a structural piece of the flooring or can it just be removed? thanks chip IP: Logged

DO NOT eliminate the seat risers unless you compensate for the loss of strutural integrity. and even then i wouldnt remove them. unless i was building a full tube frame race car. IP: Logged
