First time I used 1" square aluminum bar (stuff on passenger side). It
put the seat up too high. I liked the position, but the steering wheel
was in my lap. Then I used some steel flat bar. The steel was plenty
strong to not fail, but flexed badly so I leaned to the left and the
seat wasn't solid. Finally I used the C-section steel bar (as
pictured), stiff and strong.
