Why can't we choose our preferences?

The "extra leg" that had no conscience...
Hey I am 6'3" the issue with me was not that the seat had to be moved back, I had no support under the leg and moving the seat up or down does jackshit to fix the problem the seat requires the eight movement. It needs to come up at the front I am looking for solutions. One thought was to place a 25 mm block under the front seat mount. Next was eying off the wifes Volvo seats with 8-way adjustment and driver memory.
Actually - shimming the two forward seat attachments would be a neat way to solve your problem.
It would be one of bizarre coincidences if something like this fitted:
I assume the front seats are attached to the floor pan with 4 bolts - so I was thinking the shims could simply be washers placed between the seat frame and the floor pan with the seat bolt going through.It would be one of bizarre coincidences if something like this fitted:
Hi, Could you tell me where you found these conversion photos please as i can find them. I test drove the car Thursday and have to say the rest would stop me buying the car as after a 40 min drive it still felt so unnatural to have my left leg pushed higher than my right with no space to straighten my leg. I have a late disc 4 with a rest obviously and to be honest it has a much more comfortable driving position. This is my opinion only and its the only issue that i have that is holding up my order. Many thanks in advance.
Have another test drive and raise the seat higher. This reduces the impact of the raised footrest. This is what I did and I don’t notice it now (1,500 miles in)
Hi Andy - I believe you misread my statement. I said there were many “conversations” about the footrest, not conversions. You’re unfortunately stuck with the toe box as it is. But, as others have said, it’s a non-issue.
Plenty of people have issues with it. Most ignore it as just "a thing". It will annoy some, others will accept poor design, and for some it will be a non issue. To throw flakey statements like "it's a non issue" summising that "everyone will accept" is poor information. In your opinion it may be a non issue - but it is an issue that exists for many.
Done 1800 enjoyable miles, a total non issue to me, but not been driving Aussie distances!!!
Well done...that is a lot of miles if it was in a straight run...Aussie distances are what you feel comfortable with...in 1981 my wife and I drove around Aussie...daytime only and about 350 max kms a day when we moved...take a rest which we still practice every two hours...the seating position in the Gren is similar to driving a bus/truck more upright than lounging in than an SUV...we traveled in the first of the MQ Patrols for 23 thousand ks in the year and would love to do it again...but times have changed, except the want...shorter trips these days.
Even though I have no real issues with it and sometimes don’t notice it at all. Would I pay a few hundred pounds to be rid of it? Yes, probably.
Hey Bmac, any chance of getting a pic of the underside of the floor lining (in the hump area) so we can understand if it is thick insulation or just an air gap?
Anybody out there got a carpeted Belstaff version to compare if the matting hugs the hump, so to speak, to produce a "smaller" protrusion
