Taller Recaro Pole Position alternatives?

I’m looking for a new seat for my ’69. I’d like it leather-covered to maintain the car’s appearance, but the car sees the track frequently, so it needs to be a solid racing bucket. Thus I’m looking at something like the leather covered version of the Recaro Pole Position image:



My problem is that I’m tall- 6’4”, and the pole position, which I currently have in my other car, is really too short. It fits well otherwise, but the shoulder belt holes and shoulder supports come out 3” too low. I’ve also had an OMP “Big” seat, which fit well, but it’s so big (and heavy) that it’s almost hard to fit in the car, and doesn’t have a leather option.

Unless someone knows of something else like the Recaro, I guess I’ll need to have a good quality seat leather covered. So does anyone know of good seats (in the 1.2k or less range) that fit like the pole position but are built for taller guys?

Thanks in advance.

-Pete

I don't know fit compared to Pole Position but COBRA seats have high shoulder holes. Also, anything HANS compatible will have shoulder holes that are higher than their non-HANS brethren.

If it helps, my COBRA Evolution shoulder grommet height from inside bottom of the shell to bottom/top of trapezoid shape is 27"/30.5".
