Need to move seat forward.
Is there a adjustment that would allow me to move the seat forward in the car. I now have a clutch pedal ( auto to manual conversion) and I cannot get enough leg into the pedal (legs are so short).
Can the forward stop location be adjusted.
1978 stock seats.
Thanks....

Trying to modify the seat track stop is really not possible. Remove the seat and look.
I have been through this for customers. Generally...the accelerator pedal is also effected.
Moving the mounting areas in the floor boards is something I do not do.
Due to many customers who and others who drive the car....I attach spacer blocks onto the pedals that can be removed when needed. This way no major modification are being made that can not be reversed.
Fabricating up 'C' channel plates that can be used between the seat track and the seat frame so it can be re-mounted and staggered can work also...but if others drive the car that need the seat to go all the way back...installing these plates will not allow the seat to go all the way back.

Most adapter fabrication may also move the seat up higher from the floor. I am working on getting a Miata seat to fit at the moment. I think it fits me perfect, but if I ever get carjacked, it will be fun watching the clown show.
