Joe & company, Surgery is a bit extreme, but it beats the method I was forced to try. I was 6-6 prior to the meeting of my motorcycle and the station wagon going the wrong way on the freeway. Almost 3 years in casts, plus several reconstructive surgeries left me a bit over 6-4 now.
Seriously, I've looked at ways to increase the leg room in my '74 Spitfire. Trimming out some of the foam in the seat backs may be an option. I'm trying to find alternate seats that might be better, but most either don't help, don't fit, or make things worse. Miata seats are fairly popular, but seem to fall in the last category. Joe G. in NE used Cobra kit car seats. I tried sitting in his car once. I think they helped, but I didn't really like them. My other issue is headroom. Driving with the top up (Sacrilege!) is a bit uncomfortable. My head hits the top frame, and I don't need any more help removing what hair I have left. I realize this doesn't really help answer the question. In reality, I've just gotten used to folding up when I drive the car. And I leave the top down. Bill G.

I'm 6 ft 2 in tall and I really would like to get some more leg room in my '77 Spit. I've gone ahead and moved the driver's seat back a couple of inches from the stock position. However, I've found this is also inadequate. Have any other tall listers found a solution to this problem (without selling the car and purchasing a larger LBC, that is)?? Thanks.... Matt M.
