Pat & Ron,
Dan has the new one inch dropped floor. Because the floor drops the seat as to drop as well this maybe what's causing the misalignment. The bulkhead forces the seat forward as it gets dropped. I discussed the situation with Dan on the phone and we came up with two remedies. I believe he chose to weld two 2"X4" steel plates at the front of the straps then mount to these. There is another way but it uses 3/8th" high spacers and this takes away part of the reason for a dropped floor.
