@Lane Anderson posted:Ed's passenger's seat is smaller than his driver's seat, and is the narrowest I've ever seen. Even though I am not particularly width enhanced in the derriere I was unable to ride in his car as a passenger at last year's Carlisle. The driver's seat was fine. I think he narrowed the passenger's seat so that the period-correct jack could fit next to it.
As I recall, Lane fit (uncomfortably) in the passenger seat but at the time I had the ride height set too low and the front wheel rubbed, so out he bailed.
Lane is right that the passenger seat in my car is narrower than the (narrow) driver's seat, but it's not my doing. Those seats were supplied with the Thunder Ranch kit and, I suspect, the narrower passenger seat was chosen to make room for the Brandwood cable shifter, whose housing is a bit bulkier and taller than what Beck had used previously, and the real deal shifters.
I of course did not notice the difference in seat widths until I built the mounting hardware, and did not realize my driver's chair was different than standard until a prospective buyer backed out of the sale last fall after sitting in it for about an hour.
Until then, everyone who sat in it fit.
