[TR] seat tracks

[Chip19474 at aol.com]

I've relocated the tracks back a bit for taller drivers on TR6's but not  
forward.  I would bet the same principle applies for the TR3's - check  under 
the car to make sure there's no frame member running under the floor  where 
you would want to create new holes for the tracks if you moved the tracks  
forward.  If you're okay, take the cushion off, remove the seat and then  
the tracks and slide the tracks forward say one mounting hole so you can keep  
the remaining mounting holes in the tracks lined up with the nuts.  At this 
 point you could secure the track with the remaining holes, put the seat in 
and  see how it fits.  If it works, drill new holes to secure the tracks.
 
Another way to get a good guess at how much you need to move the  track is 
to have your daughter sit in the seat and wiggle forward until she can  
depress the pedals.  Measure how far her back is from the rear  cushion.  Since 
the rear cushion is attached to the seat it should move the  same distance 
the seat moves between clicks on the track.
 
Good luck...it'll work out.

does/has  anyone ever put together longer seat tracks for the  vertically
challenged?
