Ed,
We move bars around to keep from being bruised and use dense padding for  the 
rest.  There is not yet a F500 built that does NOT have to be modified  to 
fit the driver.  The front down bars (from the main hoop foward) are  usually 
the first to be modified to clear the shoulders and the hands while on  the 
steering wheel.  We do it in such a way that the body panels do not  have to be 
modified.  Also, a heel stop along with a seating position with  knees bent 
keep 
the feet and legs from bouncing around.  The seat cushion  is poured with 
high density foam.  I am sure that there are other ideas  that can be 
beneficial 
to avoiding bruises.
