seat adjuster

[Doug]

Hi
Is this a standard commer seat adjustment?

I need to enable it tomove further back as drjving at the moment involves a strange tap-dance on the pedals.

Has anyone done any mods for this ? (Except adding new seats.. we want to keep these ones if possible)

thanks folks ☺

I've got a spacevan and the seats do move in that, about 4 or so different positions. There's a bar across the front. Maybe find some of those still period looking

Sorry picdidnt upload.. heres the seat.
Any advice on modifying this so it can move back a bit more?
i dont mind a bit of welding if need be.

ah that's the same as mine in that case. I'm 6' and it ok guess your pretty tall

Try removing the bolts/rivets that attach the rear of the adjustment arms to the frame so you can see how far back the seat will go, you could possibly make up some extensions to the arms if it works. You could also try moving the fixing brackets up the wheel arch a bit, all depends how far the front part of the frame will hinge out

Jimberlake : I'm only a bit taller - 6'2 maybe perhaps i have long legs or sumat. Or i'm jus lazy and really want a hammock.

Panky: good plan, i hadnt thought of extending those arms. The challenge is that my wife really likes the seat as it is so i need to accommodate myself without compromising her position, as it were.
