Ahoy! A bit 'cart before the horse' but I am open to suggestions (other than to lose weight, which I am) on how to increase the width of the drivers seat in a Marina based Roadster.(SWB)
From the pile of bits recently acquired and previous experience I assume that the limiting factors are the chassis rail and the width of the diff. nose, which in turn gives a wide transmission tunnel ?
The tunnel seems rather generous and I am of a mind to offset rear axle (Dolomite) to the nearside by moving spring platforms and using a spacer on the offside. together with reducing the width of the tunnel. Another possibility would be to move seat forward as the 50" distance cockpit length is more than adequate for my leg length. What do you think ? (I also have a Cabrio but think the RHS Roadster is the most delightful piece of steel fabrication I have seen since the Forth Bridge !)
