Default hawkeye seat lowering?

Guys, I'm sure ive heard or read about a kit to lower the driving position on a hawkeye drivers seat.

Does anyone know if this is a possibiltiy and where I might get a kit from?

Many thanks

Hi
Are you keeping standard seats or going to bucket seats.If you are putting side mount bucket seats in Buddy club do a low position seat rail kit got mine from unit 8 performance.

I need to lower mine as well
there must be a lot of us that need to
surely there must be someone who could make a kit?
it would be worth a lot to me
Money to be made !!

HI
I think it would be quite difficult to get a kit to lower a hawkeye seat .It would need a lot cutting of the original seat frames and perhaps make it impractical

The drivers seat in my hawkeye moves up and down via a handle on the right hand side, dont they all do that?

yeah mines adjustable too but not low enough. 6'2" frame dosent help. I have a classic also and that is fine as the seats 'seat' me lower down.

I want to keep the seats OE btw

cheers
