Cut it with a sawall. Took time, but was not terrible.

Still working on the mouting, thinking of welding some 1/4 plate to the back side flat with the floor then drilling through that. As you probably know, there is a low spot in the floor for a water drain. I cut the bottom of the seat frame to step down into that.

Initially was just going to bolt up some angle iron so I didnt have to weld, but to cut enough out of the height, I ended up with some not flat surfaces so bolting wouldnt work. That is how the 3rd one is mounted. It is a slightly different seat, and he had a not original steering colum/wheel in so there would be more room there with the seat higher than the oiginal school bus wheel.

Will snap some pictures of it sitting cut down when I get a chance.
