I think you need to simply get used to being shoe-horned in to any FF.
It's no production car.  I think circumference is more critical than
length, referring to the driver.

After 11 years driving a nice, roomy production car, I'd like to add a
Formula Ford to the Boondoggle Racing stable.  But the long-wheelbase
FFs I've tried on so far seem to lack sufficient fuel-cell-to-pedals
space for my (34" inseam) legs, even with the seat removed.  I don't
want to wind up sticking out of the cockpit like on Disney's Autopia
ride, either.

Any suggestions?

In a Titan Mk. 6 specifically, has anyone tried moving the pedals
forward substantially, perhaps by lowering or modifying the aluminum
tank so that the brake and clutch cylinders will fit over it?
