After having driven the car for some time, I've found the best seating position of the many many possibilities. Unfortunately that means that I have the seat/back is a so far right position that the upper left part of the Luxury seat rests on the conv top plastic cover, and I want to have the seat back further back which tilts it sideways. I don't think I have excessively long legs, but I like to be able to stretch my leg when cruising with the foot on the throttle. Well in my new Jag I can't.

So I was looking at gutting the seat or cut the hard plastic behind the seat. Or move the pedals. And thankfully I saw that the throttle was easy to take out and the arm is iron=weldable. So I took it out, cut it and welded it. To be more specific, I cut 1/2" of the length off, and bent the part I welded back on a bit away from me. What a difference, the pedal is now seen from my POV 1/2" higher (good) and 1/2" inch further from myself. Now I just fit, and can even move the seat a few mm further forward so there's no rubbing on the seat back.

Picture shows after welding but before cleaning up and painting.

 

Cool!!
