and the cockpit tub in place. Notice the small cutout at the rear bottom to accommodate the nose gear bay.

Here is the seat position as shown in a cross sectional cut of a Mirage 3 which is similar in the angle to the Kfir.

The reason it is shown is to show that the ejection seat does not need the bottom surgery I and other performed on the Mirage or Kfir with the gear down. However, I did trim just a bit to get the seat to clear the gear bay structure a bit more.
