SolarB, have you put the post through the back seat panel to get it level?

Yep, through the center of the rear seat hole and the bottom of the front bulkhead hole. It's a little floor heavy but nothing that can't be managed.
The frame is 3 foot wide and is stable enough.

absolute centre?

Not quite.

If I'd put the pole under the horizontal bar instead of above, it would have been nearer the CofG. With the current setup the car is horizontal but a few degrees of forward tilt wouldn't hurt.

Front mounting is as low as it can go.
