I did this using a hack saw (seat removed from track) and now get several more inches of leg room which helps immensely. It is easy, remove seat from track, make two cuts on each track for each new detent and remove the little piece of waste metal, clean up rough edges with file, (make sure new detent is as wide as others), re-install seat, enjoy more leg room. Yet another of the secrets I learned here on the list. H >>
also, you can cut the stops on the track off, so that you can slide the seat all the way back, ands out, and flip it around so it faces backwards. chris |
