[Healeys] BJ8 driver seat repositioning

[Bob Haskell]

Tom,

It's not the rear shelf that limits how far back you can move a seat, 
it's the interior panel that goes from the rear door jamb, around the 
wheel well on the convertibles.

You might be able to help your cause by seeing if you can move the seat 
sideways (closer to the gearbox) and then back.  I welded some 
additional metal to the seat bottom frame to do that on my roadster.

The other point of interference will be the floor section, behind the 
seat, just above the rear spring - it tapers up as it goes to the wheel 
well.

Cheers,

Bob Haskell
