Richard, Yeah tallish and it doesn't seem to fit well with my little 1600 :)
I haven't actually thought to try installing the seats behind the squab, i'll line it up tonight and see how it fits. Just off the top of my head, i'd say that if i were to put hte seat forward that it would hit the squab. I spose that wouldn't really matter if the seat was in the right position for me. With regards to rear seat legroom, i'm not too concerned with that, stiff to the person in the rear seat. Thanks for the tips/ideas, i'll let you know how it goes. cheers, Adam ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Clough" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 9:57 PM Subject: Re: installing seats.... > OK Adam, I gather you a tall person.
