I have a velo milano in mine. Their website www.velo.com.au doesn't have any measurements on it but they can fax you the sizes. Will try and measure mine tomorrow. Cheers |

Simply measure between your B pillars and half it, if the seats are any wider it simply wont fit  . You can also position the seats back on the B pillar which will put the shoulders between the rear windows but you need to be a long legged fella to reach the pedals.
From memory 500 or 550mm wide is around the right size but I may be wrong. |

Dion, From memory the maximum width is about 540mm. Any wider than that and they just wont fit. |

We've got cobra monaco in the race car, driver's set back and low, with the nav's further back and lower. If you stagger them you can get quite wide seats in, don't forget the passenger doesn't need to reach pedals, steering wheel etc. (best pic I could find, and yes I do have long legs!)  [/img]

6'3" does give one long legs. Navigator is 6', and she is almost all leg (I'm a lucky bugger). The nav's seat is further back for a few reasons, firstly they wouldn't fit side by side, and also to improve weight distribution, it also sits basically flat on the floor. Even with being so tall we still both have heaps of headroom with helmets on. Obviously we had to move ignition and switchgear to floor crossmember, and the rally computer is mounted on the door, within easy reach, as well as a foot reset. |

You can buy Cobra `Mini' rails (subframes) from Revolution Racegear, they bolt onto any Cobra seat and many others. Fit onto your stock seat brackets. Karcraft lists them too, maybe cheaper. But check if they have stock.
