C9X, Thanks for your usual details on excellent craftsmanship. The armrests on my seat fit inside the cowl OK but I removed them thinking the inner panels needed the room. Even without the armrests my seat is right up against the back edge of the cowl with only very slight room in the corners. I would be interested is some safety even if the roll bar does not pass NHRA specs and would be interested in getting a smaller diameter bar with a thicker wall. It is possible with a smaller diameter tubing the corners of the seat would deform enough to make foom for the tubing. I realize the larger diameter is probably stronger but maybe cold rolled steel pipe could be used, filled with sand and bent into a hoop. I look forward to the inside pictures of the corners of your seat AND to see how you treat the new roadster.
