Bill; A problem I had with my B was the gas petal. If I placed the
seat so I the wheel and clutch petal were the right distance, my left
leg was cocked so it would not be supported by the seat. I removed the
metal stop on the floor behind the petal and made one which was above
two inches shorter. I them readjusted the cable so the throttle was
full open when the petal was on the new stop.
The result is the best driving position I have ever experienced in any
car.
