Drivers Seat Further Back In 2B

[Guest ddhmlk]

Anyone ever had problem with a block part of chassis behind seats stopping seat going all the way back against rear of cabin , I'm after a f few extra inches of legroom to enable me to stop banging knees on underside of dash as I'm 6"5

It depends what seats you are using, the seats which were an option with the kit were far too big but others will go back to the rear panel. I take it the block you mention is the cover over the inner suspension bush.

I am new to hoods and cars in general ... The obstruction to left side on rear qtr of seat is this the suspension bush cover it's stopping seat going all way back which sit very flat to the ground , thought of talking a section of seat out and re welding frame of seat so it goes around cover.... Or is there an easier fix ... Please excuse my ignorance I will learn

I had a similar problem but then you have 11" in me

 

You could raise the runners so that the seat travels above the suspension mount. However, this may counter productive if your issue is leg room under the dash. it could also raise you head above the windscreen. Not wise! I cut away the bulk head that covered the suspension mount and re-fabricated a smaller box to recover the mounting. this gave me a couple of more inches.

THANKS IGGY I WAS THINKING OF CUTTING SEAT FRAME OUT AS IT HAS A THICK FRAME AND GETTING IT SIT ONTOP OF MOUNT COVER EXCUSE THE CAPITALS PC WONT GO SMALL

If it's the frame hitting the mount cover, can you not unbolt seat from the runner and position it further back using some flat bar and then attach to runners?
