shoulder. To further complicate things, IVA rules dictate that either the pedals or the driver's seat are adjustable so, in our case, seat runners must be fitted. Our headroom is now even less than before so getting our bum as close to the floor-pan as possible is critical. We borrowed a suitably-narrow seat (Lotus Elise) from a local manufacturer and made a quick frame for some runners. I was able to mount the seat moulding between the runners so it would be almost touching the floor thus saving at least an inch of seat height.
Here's Matthew testing the layout of everything for the first time. The gear lever assembly is just hung from the dash frame with a couple of steel strips. It needs to go down and forward with a possible tweek upwards of the lever. Either the seat-back angle needs changing or the runners re-mounted in-line with the floor. Hmm ... a recliner would be nice wouldn't it? The head-rest height could probably lose an inch and the gear lever housing could do with slimming down a little but it's looking promising. Remember though, that this is our car, we're both similar size and we won't be selling it for the foreseeable future. So it doesn't have to be adjustable for anyone else.
