                If you want to sit between the torque tube and the o/s rear spring, you either need a rear axle with an offset diff or you need to rearrange the rear springs so that they are parallel. 
I have opted for the latter course in my single seater project.  I have shamelessly copied the Gordon England design used in Mrs Jo-Jo.  This involves twin rear cross-members and fabricated chassis outriggers that house the springs.
Mrs Jo-Jo had two seats, necessary for some races in the 1920's.  I have done away with the passenger seat and put compartments in its place that house the fuel tank and battery, thereby helping to equalise the weight distribution and aiding a low c of g.
I will attempt to post some photos of my set-up!
How I started!
