Almost all of my time now is being used up renovating yet another house, so my wagon is just sitting, and sitting, with the dash still ripped apart and the passenger mirror still not put on. It has also been banished - again - from its garage in favor of appliances, cabinets, drywall, and lumber. But, I do spend a lot of time thinking about it while I've been demo-ing the kitchen and bathrooms. One thing that I would like to do when I'm done with this house and can get back to my toys, is move the drivers side 60/40 seat rearwards about two or three inches more than can be done with just adjusting it back as far as it will go. I'm a tall and big guy, and without having a tilt wheel, it is annoyingly tight getting in and out. I have been trying to figure out how I could do this without drilling new holes in the floorpan. I have thought about making some sort of bracket out of flat stock - which would work fine if the seat bolts came up from the floor, but since the bolts are mounted on the seat tracks and go down through the floor, I don't see how that could work. Has anyone done this sort of modification? Any ideas? Perhaps I could lose some weight, but that isn't going to make me any shorter.
