Andy (Sycho) Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 No the jk's are a bit more reclined than the rear bulk head. I'm 6ft & I've had to pack them up 25mm but I've got a lowered floor, has yours? If your going to Stoneliegh Your welcome to try mine for size.

XTR2Turbo Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 If you get along to Stoneleigh you will see cars with various shell seats that owners may let you try for size. The main choices are Tillett, JK, Westfield factory race seats. I would strongly suggest trying for size and flex before deciding.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Try JK's in a Westfield before buying! Yes, they do get your head as far back, and as low as possible. (They're a bit more steeply raked than the bulkhead, if memory serves). But they're not equipped with Tardis like circuits to warp space inside the cockpit! So they gain the extra space not just by being thin, but also, to a lesser extent by sort of rotating your body round to lower your head and raise your knees. I actually found this brought my knees up closer to the original steering wheel position! Because your head and shoulders are quite a bit further back though, I had to extend the steering wheel towards me by a good inch to an inch and a half, so this restored the clearance to my knees.

Dan76 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks for all the comments. The car does have the lowered floors. I'll be at Stoneleigh on the Sunday so will try and get a look at some different options.A sit in your car would be appreciated Andy. I don't want to go overboard on changing the car at the moment, just looking to get it a bit more drivable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
