I take it that that is 'photos or want to drop near us for a gander' at the seat and car.... not Mrs Coach!

Yep - Chim Yellow is Right...

Mrs Coach is 4' 10"!!

Leven long pedals were fitted by her - you need to be SMALL to get in the footwell!

Addtionally we had the PROPER seat bolster made by the factory though TMS parts - it costs 160 squids

Mail me off line if you need photos or want to drop near us for a gander.

Silly question time! I take it you`ve got the adjustable pedals fully wound out? had to do this for Mrs T88CAN when we had our Chim, contact me if you require advise on how to adjust if required Tony

Melannie,

There are TVR height extenders for the runners which bolt under the seat and raise the position of the seat. Try these as well, as they are cheap from your local dealer. We have a Chimaera in stock with this setup which was owned by a five foot woman.

I wouldn't recommend sitting on a cushion as this must surely encourage you to submarine under your seat belt in the event of an accident?

What sort of Vespa do you have?

Cushion? this is a seat back from TVR that pushes you forward about 2 or 3 inches. Mrs Coach only has "ickle" legs anyway so the squabe was too long. Perfect solution and it is matched to your trim code at the factory.

You could sit on my lap and I'll do the pedals, you do the rest. And we could chat about the first thing that pops up.

[quote=lemmonie]At only 5,3 im a bit of a shortarse Even with the seat as far forward as it goes i find im stretching a bit more than i'd like (i can reach the pedals) It looks like a cushion may be required....has anyone else found this a problem and if so what else can i do?

If the long pedals don't solve the problem to your satisfaction apparently TVR do a sculpted seat cushion for people who have just this problem and will obviously match it to your seats ... no idea on price but if you need a cushion get the best!
