Topic: 525i cage issues

We are building our first Lemons car. We have had a lot of issues but have generally found the answers either by trail and error or looking here in the forum. We have installed our seat and now it looks as if head clearance for the cage is going to be tight, has anyone had experience with this. Thanks in advance for any help.

Most everyone has experienced this but each one is different.  I'd suggest you take pictures with someone sitting in the seat with a helmet on and post links to the pix here.  There's lots of ways to skin that cat but pictures are worth a thousand words.

Easiest fix:  Lower or tilt the saet back  I re did the rear part of our sliding seat bracket to lay the seat back an additional 10 degrees or so.

Next easiest, put a very tall (think curved) bar in the center running front to back from the halo to the main hoop.
