Front Seat, Tall Person's option (or not)



Here are some pictures of what I did with Van's Tall Person's Option..

Problem was, the tall person's option really caters to person with tall torso's, the front seatback brace is just moved backwards giving the front seatback more slant.
It does, however, NOT solve the problem for people like myself with longer legs.

With Van's Tall person, I was still hitting the underside of my instrument panel.

My solution here was to install a second hinge, about an inch or so further back over the stiffner. This, together with the tall person's seatback brace, made the slant of front seat back to be about standard again, but with a little more legroom, maybe not much, but hey, all little bits count.
 


Above are pictures of the Tall person's seatback brace, you can see also my solution for the rear 2 lever quadrant.
 
 


 
 
 

Above are a few pictures showing the second hinge as installed. It could probably move even further back but then you probably have to modify the front seatbelt anchors.
