nzkiwi1975 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I need some help, I'm 6ft tall & am looking at ording my westfield, but should I go for the dropped floor to give me a better sight line & not be looking at the top bar of the windscreen? would using a standard floor & then dont use the seat runnings work ok? any thoughts?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Depends on the seats you fit! Is it only you driving it? If so, you won't need seat runners which will put you a smidge lower in the cockpit. To use an old chestnut in here, where are you located, and have you been to a friendly local meet to sit in a few member cars first? That really is your best bet before anything else. Good luck!

Mark (smokey mow) Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I may be wrong but I thought all cars came with the dropped floor as standard now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZkiwi75 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm downunder in OZ. I'm looking at using COBRA SEAT ROADSTER 7. It would only be me driving. Trying to get a look a car at the mo. Just need to find some contacts over here in Brisbane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dommo Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 All new cars are dropped floor. I think the Cobra seat is pretty similar to the Westfield Sport Turbo seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt F Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm just shy of 6' and have the lowered floor and no runners and it's spot on, I wouldn't want to be any higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZkiwi75 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks everyone. I'm checking out a dropped floor westie tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustCallMeMac Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Sorry for hijacking the thread but how can I tell if the floor has been dropped on my Westfield? (1990 SEIW) My Tillets sit on runners and at 5,11 I'm certainly sitting nice and low in the cockpit. Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterg Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Standard floor on a 1990 SEiW was level with the bottom of the chassis rails, the lowered floor drops this by an inch or so I think so if your ally floor is flush with the chassis rails then it's not lowered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Steve Look at it from the side, a dropped floor will sit lower than the rest of the floor under the seat area. If you haven't got a dropped floor then the whole floor will be flat.
