You look to have a fair lean on the positioning (high mounting front and far down at the rear). Maybe try dropping the front seat mounting down to the lower hole and have the seat more upright which will decrease the pressure on the back of your leg.

My side mounts are the other way round to yours, but that may not work on the Bimarcos.

I'm sure you can get a better position and posture with these than the original seat allows. However, it may not be as gangster as your used to

GLWS Mark! wish i didn't have a holiday/insurance/fixing the car all to pay for in the next 6-8 weeks!

I've tried a few different positions. I had it up one more but it was still the same.

I'm going to take out the omp runner as it makes it a bit harder trying to position everything.

It won't make a difference will it depending which way the side mounts are?

Cheers ad, I'm off on holiday on Sunday too

And Neil, I don't really drive like a gangster, I sit quite forwards and I just find with a backwards tilt the seat a lot more comfier

I thought of dropping the front as that will lower the thigh cushions more, relative to your feet and backside(about 20mm), as opposed to raising the rear mounts which would have the same angle change to the seat but will make very little change to the cushion height.

Have you tried removing the thigh cushion? Does that clear the pressure point? The thigh supports do tend to be quite thick, so maybe it could be reduced in depth.

Having the brackets the other way round will clear the lap strap harness hole, so the straps wont get chaffed. and setting up the seat height is a bit easier as theres only two holes high/low. Then adjust the front for the angle, which will raise/lower the front cushion too. With limitted steering wheel adjustment, the angle will probably be a bit of a comprises.

Ok I'll try it that way. So when you say you have your mounts the other way round... Do you mean the L shape goes under the seat but you've just used my right nought for the left and vice verse? Or have you got the side mount feet pointing outwards?
