getting more comfy
I have found on the 2 journeys to SVA that my right leg is not too comfy - the steering wheel is right up against it meaning it is at an awkward angle
to work the pedals; something t hat I will notice more once on the road.
I already have 11 inch wheel and don't want to go smaller than that so what other options are there?
1. move steering column up to get up to 20 mm (already raised it once)
2. move steering wheel towards me to get past knee or further away (have one of those RD collaspible steering thingies)
3. fit thinner seats - fibre glass ones; ones I have have some padding but with no padding I could possibly sit a bit further way and lower
chassis/side panel mods aren't really on.

Probs worth trying the collapsible boss first, might just move the wheel closer and get around the problem for you.
My Dad had this problem at first on his car. Steering position is oK for him but SVA tester failed the car as he couldnt drive it comfortably - mad or
what???

Steering wheel higher is a logical one. But also try to play with the angle of the seat. Dependent on the length of your legs relative to your body
and arms this can make your position much more comfy.
Same with using spacers to move the steeringwheel. One or two centimeters can make the difference..
