hello again, while the materials arrive outstanding things I put some pictures of the first adjustable seat support, these are the two extra brackets, are anchored outside the cockpit, allowing placement of the seat in any position within the range of travel, which can be as long as you want.

as you see, you can put it up, down or tilt as you like, a greeting.

Interesting concept, cannot remember who but someone here at GTP posted 3d drawings a while back for similar application.

I am assuming your design will also feature wheel deck and pedal deck supports that have a broad range of adjustability to compensate for the ergonomics shift when adjusting the seat.

If I understand correctly, the full weight of the occupant and seat will be borne by whatever parts are used to connect to the 4 vertical pieces of tubing in your photo.

What parts will you use to connect the crossbars under the seat to the channels in the vertical supports on the outside of the seat? Clamp blocks would provide adjustability but I think they might slip under that kind of load.

I guess you could use a right angled pivot like the one in the photo below, but the vertical load will be borne by one bolt held by a T-nut on each corner.

Why not just install a pair of pivots on the back end of the seat and only have the front end articulate?
I can't think of many instances where one would opt to position the front of the seat lower than the back.
