Seat rake

[AL001]

Can this be adjusted without taking the seats off the runners? There's three settings but getting into the central side looks like a hard (impossible?) job. Or do the seats have to come out for this?

Is the Noble factory open on Saturdays? Will be passing by on way to Spa next weekend so may leave this to the experts if going to be tricky.

It's actually easy. Drive the car onto two bricks, stick you head under the car and you'll see four bolts.

Take these out and the whole seat comes out (still attached to the harness though). Now you can adjust dead easy.

Fit back.

Takes about 10 mins start to end, and doesn't require any convoluted contortions

Nice one - tip of the day! I need to adjust mine too! I find the steering wheel a little long on reach when I get the seat nice for the clutch. I'm hoping if I bring the seat up a bit more vertical this will improve things. It's tilted back as far as it goes at the moment.

Thanks for the info.

Get a steering wheel spacer if you need it closer to you - I needed to do this after I'd adjusted the seat back so that the wearing of a helmet was comfortable (ie. so that it didn't touch the roof).

Richard - do you have any more details? Are these readily available via Demon Tweeks or some such?

Cheers

The one I used:-
www.tekniqauto.com/CDN/snapoff/SOFaq.htm

Available from www.motorsportworld.co.uk for around 71.11 GBP (possibly plus vat).

Extends the reach by 1 inch, still makes the indicators reachable, security feature a bonus.

Edited to add: 91.05 inc vat and postage. Fun to fit though.
