I have a pair of BB Vintage Low Round Back Bucket seats in my Latham F2 but need to get lower in the car.

Demon Tweeks show dimensions of seating but I can not work out which get your backside closest to the floor.

Do you know of any seats designed to be bolted straight to the floor?

you can buy a shell that bolts to the floor,
you could go all F1 and use foam to mould to your rear end,

When I had a Fisher Furry, I took a seat from the local scout hut. Metal frame and plastic shell.
Removed it from the frame and bolted it to the floor with a wood seat rail.

You can buy just shells from motorsports type supplies companys

from google the seat base on those looks massive. i'd find a local upholsterer and see what they can do with what you have first.

I had the same issue with those seats, they were too wide and sat too high, ended up with some fibreglass bucket seats from Jo and very happy with them.
