4. We thought it would be cool to add some sliders to our Cobras to offer stock-like adjustability. The sliders come complete with tabs and the hardware pictured. The tabs allow you to raise or lower the height of the seats. We opted for the lowest setting.

10. This is a side view of the slider/tab. Notice that the spacers push the slider up about 5mm, which is huge once you bolt the seats in. Choosing the lower holes on the tabs cancels this out.

11. This is the trickiest part. The piano wire arm extends across the two sliders allowing them to function in unison. Install one at a time.
