If you're using the standard Ford mounts to mount your seats then you probably won't get away with a floor mount. You'll be too close to the pedals.
To get a comfy seating position the back of my bucket is practically touching the centre brace of the cage which runs between the main hoop.

I've got the three pedal tilton floor mounted setup and Im using the standard seat rail but I have short legs

No pictures tho

Getting the pedal setup in is the easy part getting it all to work is the hard part.

I stared a frame for it yesterday using 5-6mm flat so see how I get on with that. I'm only 5,8" with a 31" inside leg and I can see where the leg room becomes an issue. I'd hate to be any taller!

Excellent stuff, Jon. I see you're using AP cylinders, too.

What's everyone using cylinder wise? Mine came with 3 Girling's but they are all .75's!

Gave it a quick spruce up today at work as I was bored.
