Power steering conversion

That's exactly right. Legroom on the right side isn't that great either though. However, with defender seats fitted slightly (1.5") inboard, legroom AND elbow room is increased.

And having PAS is just fantastic!!! Should have done that ages ago!

Yep - I put Defender seats in years ago, using the inboard hole pairs vacated by the bolts that secured the "tracks" for the old seat squabs - no drilling, the seat is more in line with the pedals and steering wheel than using the standard bolt holes, and plenty of elbow room. Being a 109 with the bulkhead removed, the leg room is reasonable, though not great. The only way of increasing leg comfort would be the seat rail spacers like Mudstuff's rails, but they'd raise the seat too high for the Series windscreen top edge - I'd never see traffic lights once stopped for a red! The only other thing you could do is fit an auto box to get rid of the clutch pedal, but that'd be a huge amount of work.

With this seat position, my 109's seats are way more comfortable than the front seats in my wife's 2009 Defender, which lack elbow room on the door side, leg room against the hand brake lever and knee room against the dash. I may eventually succumb to a P38 steering system, though - I'm not getting younger or fitter!

Thats the way I did it as well. Super easy! I'm 6'6" so have trouble looking at the lights anyway. With the top off it's a lot better though..

I would love an sutobox in mine. But with my drivetrain that is going to be super expensive and time consuming . Not worth it.

The P38 pas conversion on the other hand...well worth it!! Way better steering feel and much easier to steer, especially at low speeds or offroad. And quite easy to do.
