MRAP cobra seat install.

[AHood]

So i picked up some MRAP seats locally. I had to do a bit of work to mount them the way I wanted. Modified the stock seat bases with some cross bars and welded in bolt bungs. After I put the drivers side in I realized I had no leg room to the steering wheel. So I went about fitting a smaller wheel. I have power steering so your grandma could steer this. I took the stock splined hub out of the stock wheel and machined an extension I could thread to fit a wheel and welded it together. I also machined the new wheel with a bigger center hole and new bolt pattern so the wheel registered on the center of the hub and I could still install the hub nut. Added some 12 point aircraft bolts from my work, and a delrin sleeve to slip over the steering column and hide the guts. It was a lot of extra machining. After that I realized the seat was still too high. I'm 6'2" so leg room has always been an issue for me.
My head was too close to the roof though and I couldn't see out the side window without ducking my head. So I cut the seat base tubes down 2 inches. Moched up, the seat, tacked and rewelded the mounting feet. Good as new and the seat height and leg room is perfect for me now. Now to do the passenger side.
