Seating Position

[MattB]

I bought a '97 P Bravo 1.6 sx a week ago, but can't seem to find a comfy seating position.

I've got the steering wheel adjusted up as far as it goes, the seat lowered as far as it goes, and moved back as far as it goes, but I still find myself a bit cramped around the footwell and steering wheel.

Currently my left leg keeps knocking into the cental console as it sweeps round into the footwell, but I cant move my leg further right without hitting the steering wheel...

I'm a big bloke, 6'2" and 22(ish) stone, but I just feel that if the wheel went up half an inch more, or had reach adjustment, or the seat back an inch or so more I'd be fine.

Any (preferably cheap) mods/replacements to the seats that would accomplish this?

The Bravo isn't the smallest, but you're a big fella for the size of car. Anybody come up with any idea's on this one??

im 6ft5 17 and a half stone. 38 inch leg.

steering wheel all the way up... seat all the way back. and in its lowered postion. i fit in fine no problems....

if ur finding it hard. and need a little more distance between u and the wheel.. once ur seat is back as far as it will go.. u need to un bolt it. drill to holes slight furtherr down the runner and bolt it back in. u can get about an inch more out of it.... BUT no doubt some 1 is gonna shout at me for saying it... and i dunno if its legal or safe
