Default Re: Leg room

Making additional cabin room.

Yes, I do like the practicality of chopping out a couple inches from my legs when I get my knees replaced.
But in the interim, in my ute, I have replaced the thick seat back with biscuit thin dense foam rubber and pushed the seat squab back to the rear as far as it would go. That's under the seat back. This allowed me to cut about 3 inches from the seat squab frame. I still need to be somewhat of a contortionist but never the less it’s much easier to enter and exit and the thin seat back provides me with more leg room.
On my tourer I cut off the rear row of springs from the seat squab, which I find too long anyway, and again about 3 inches from the seat frame. Likewise, easier. But I still need to replace the seat back with a thin piece of sponge rubber which will give me likewise about 3 extra inches of leg room. Fairly simple mods.
