accommodating a tall and short driver

[ginger steve]

Struggling for a solution to accommodate myself and my partner in the 7. The tillet moved all the way forward is still way too short for her to reach the pedals, unless I move all the pedals. The issue is then I can't fit with the seat all the way back. Changing pedal positions whilst switching over driving is a pain and not practical on a track day. Im 6 foot 2 and she's 5 foot nothing....

One suggestion was to make a bag seat to fit as an insert in the tillet? Any thoughts or experience with this would be much appreciated!

You need to experiment with cushions etc to see if she can manage your pedal and steering wheel positions if you can get her far enough forward / high enough in the car. If you are lucky then the seat insert will work without the need for adjust the pedals and the wheel.

You can buy polyurethane expanding foam mix from a fibreglass supplier very cheaply. It’s ideal to make a seat insert.

If the adjustable runner on the driver’s seat isn’t doing anything for you, consider bolting the Tillet directly to the floor- this will get you a good bit lower, maybe 3/4” which at 6’2” will be a good mod.

I’m 6’ even but my first move is always to bolt a Tillet directly to the floor.

You can do a lot with expanding foam seat inserts. Me and miss Bert are very different heights, although maybe not quite as different as you. But we easily made expanding foam inserts so we could drive the same radical in two driver races with a fixed seat.

So as James says or the seat in the most forward position and see what size an expanding foam insert might be.

I get the foam from East coast fibreglass. DT resell it at twice the price!
