Anyone adjusted the seat for a short arse?

[dreamer75]

Can she get the brake and throttle all the way down? You could adjust the clutch so it doesn't need to go all the way down...

Or use cushions ? :s

Blocks on the soles of her shoes, think Indiana Jones

There's always a way of moving the seat - it's only held on by four bolts. On any conventional steel car it would be about an hour's work to drill some holes and weld on some new captive nuts an inch or so further forwards, which would probably solve the problem. On the Elise I've no idea whether it would be that easy, or a much more involved job.

Conceivably you could have a sturdy steel bracket made up that goes between the floor and the original runners, to shift the mounting of the seat forwards by a couple of inches and up by a bit too.

They are mate yes, but even with it as far forward as it will go it's not quite forward enough.

Would moving the seat closer not cause issues with her bumping into the steering wheel?

I'm not sure really, I think a small amount, an inch or so, would be enough and should still be clear of the wheel e.t.c.

That's why I'm asking really, I was kind of hoping someone might have encountered this problem previously.

If you post some pictures of the relevant area, then I'm sure someone with an Elise would be able to give you some idea of whether there will be any fitting issues?
