O.K. guys,dont laugh too hard.I'm only 5' tall,got short legs.I want to know if there is way to raise the seat of my sw2 so I can see over the wheel,well I can,but I just want to be a little bit higher.The bottom part of the window is at my shoulder so my arm is at an upward angle when I rest it there.
Also,I had to make a 2" ex tention for the clutch so my foot & leg wouldnt be stretched out too far,I mean I had to reach way out there to change gears,or start the thing.
Did some of you other short people have to do anything like this?
Tips Welcome.

Here's what you do... the pedal extentions are nice but for your heigth issue go to the store. Either a Wal-mart or home depot, hell even the dollar store. Get either velcro or duct tape. Go home and get a phone book and strap it to your a$$. J/K man but look at the bolts holding the seat down. You may be able to put a steal block between the seat brackets and the floor. Like 2 in. thick. drill a hole in them and put it together with the blocks in. Don't know if it can be done but it sounds like it would be possible.

That sounds like it might work,I may have to go to the hardware store and buy some longer though,but I will try that.
I dont think I'd try the phonebook,not enough cushion,plus I'd look funny w/ it taped to me.But then again I see alot freaky lookin people out there.Look at Michael Jackson!

Be sure to use very high quality hardware. You'd hate to have your seat come loose in an accident!

Like he said, don't get the first bolt you see, get the high quality, heavy load. Remember, every in. you add will be alot so don't go more than like two. The diiference will be big.

I'll get the grade-8 bolts if I decide to go that route.I'm lookin in to doin something else if it dont cost that much.
Thanks guys
