Managed to talk the wife into an Evora as a daily. She loves it but being 5' and change the seat to pedal distance is further than she'd like for driving in traffic etc.

Been to dealer today and apparently the seat rails can't go further forward like the forums would suggest.

Anyone know of any extended rails or other solutions that might work?

Thanks.

Pedal extensions are looking like the answer so far...

Those pedal extensions look like they are meant to be fitted permanently, not just flipped over for when required. Surely that would be a huge PITA for swapping drivers.
Well ultimately it's her daily driver, and I am normally in my Dogbus, plus I have the Elise for Lotusey goodness. That said, I'm only 5'9" anyway, so I reckon I could just move the seat back a whisker and get away with it - they're only 90mm (3.5", give or take) and by the look of them there's some adjustability.

Once I've seen one and checked how they attach/operate/prevent failure, I could likely fabricate better ones for our situation myself.

Here's the perfect solution for just £22.39 and much simpler than seat rail extensions which would probably risk your OH getting blown to bits by the airbag in an accident,

I already have a set of those for weekends. We can't be seen wearing the same shoes! laugh

On looking last night, it seems that the replacement seat brackets I have for my 410sport move the seat forward by a good 2 or 3 inches as well as canting the seat back. So that will probably sort it out for me.

Where did you get these from?

Got some pedal extensions but would much prefer this.

I got them privately, but they originally came from SSC in Australia.
This is great, thanks. I am in contact with them.

Sadly the brackets they sell do not work with the GT410 seats.

This is proving to be a bit of a nightmare. I might have to manufacture something myself.

We got her a big cushion. laugh

Truth is she tends not to drive it and uses the Elise instead.
