    I have one by conduit under the floor. I went right threw it. Should be strong. Not sure with the new seats that I will be putting in.

    I need to know about line of sight.. Where should I be looking when I have the new seats in?? If a line were in the middle of the windshield.. Where should my line of sight be??

    I don't know that there is a hard & fast rule on that one, Al. You'll just have to apply a little common sense. You know that the windshield isn't very tall. If you sit too low you can't see over the steering wheel. If you sit too high you'll see nothing but the top of the hood. Somewhere in between will be a height that feels right to you. Consider the side windows, back windows & blind spots, too. Try the seats at different heights using the temporary blocks until you find the one that works best, feels safe and looks good. Then build the permanent risers to mount it solid.
