Nice pics!.

Has your roll bar been raised on its mounting points? if so by how much.
What height is your roll bar from the underside of the roll bar to the top of floor cross members. I measure mine at 900mm, including roll bar raised by 15mm.

How much clearence is there between the top of your seats and the underside of the roll bar..
Seats I am looking at are 870mm in height, which gives 30mm to mount them in.

Cheers
Steve

I can't measure from the floor crossmembers as I have installed a false floor over them.

The seats I have are quite close the the rollbar. I would say about 10-20mm.

But when I trial fitted the Lotus seats, had tonns of clearance.

I can't get to the threads on the rollbar at the minute. But I'll try to take some measurements over the weekend from the chassis with some pictures.
