Simon,

With a much moved back seat but still with an upright seating position how do people handle moving the pedals back? With the clutch and brake pedal being direct acting levers I guess you can't just extend the length of them because the arc the pedal itself would swing might get too long?

Simon,

This is where my plans might come unstuck: where theory and reality collide. My belief is that the foot brake is co-located with the steering box and that moving one moves the other. I naively assume that moving the box back will bring the brake pedal with it: obviously, the rest of the linkages will need altering to suit. I plan to fit a Reliant engine as the chassis comes without an motor. This, I believe, has a cable clutch, so I should be able to put the pedal more or less where  wish, cable length permitting.

I should be interested in how others achieve overcome the problem, though.

Regards,

James.
