Make it whatever height you want as long as you can see over it...
I made the fibreglass ones approx 10" if that helps?
Biggest problem is engine clearance as you need a straight run down to the nosecone or the car will look odd.

So any ideas Mark what you will do for my V6? A power bulge & higher scuttle? Hope to see you at the Exeter show to chat about what you can do. Do you have a damaged nose cone, scuttle or formers i could borrow or buy to get an idea of what heights i need?

Also, when you are not busy send me a pm so i can come order my seats. Ideally like to try them if you have some ready without gel coat.
