I scaled out the seats and seats mounts and there dead on, on difference in the seats is the backer is lot higher, but the width is the same

after installing the seat something look off. I lost 8mm in between seat, not sure where, I look at some 1:1 interior, man! these guys cant even stand up in side without crouching, really tight inside, so maybe im not that far off .
