Default Measurements of the wood....

I did all my measuements in inches and when I converted to metric the numbers do not match.

So will re measure in metric and post the dimensions.

My seat floor adjustment mechanism all all aprat and not yet sand blasted.... in fact I am not sure how they fit any more but will figure it out.

Alex how thick is your wood spacer for the seats...... not sure I will need any with my 6'2" frame... driver's seat will be set for my comfort.

Cheers

Bob, I have two spacers stacked onto eachother. One is 1" thick, the other 1,5". The thicker ones have a part number stamped/painted on one side. I can't find a part number on the thinner ones, allthough they show traces of Khaki Green on the surface normally hidden by the thicker block, so I presume they are original. (allthough I am not sure they were always factory fitted!)

I agree about probably not needing them...I remember in the thread on clearance between steering wheel and knees it was concluded that raising the seat, makes clearance worse. I will still be making a new set of spacers though, just to be able to work out the best option for steering wheel clearance, comfort and view of the road....That is, when I get to that part of the resto

Alex

I've been busy last few days fighting idiots who want to put Sherman Firefly into concrete grave in Museum of WWII in Gdansk.
