Hello GMAX. Check the other pics which show the unit with its two piece fibreglass body.The seat is situated over the motor.The body work seperates at floor level.Quite frankly i don`t see why it has a raised nosecone section as sitting with feet flat on the floor area is much more comfortable.For me anyway.There are no linkages in the way under the nosecone.I will probably do away with it and fit a flat sheetmetal floor in that area.It would provide me with a 50cm x 50cm storage space.A beer esky comes to mind.haha. cheers
