Big.Mike Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hi All, Okay, I'm 6'10. (Hence the Big...) I find the seat risers seat me just too high. I want to set the seat back, but not with the height... I was thinking of modifying the seat runners and cutting away the seat box. Has anyone tried this: -OR- Does anyone know where I can get a thinner seat base? Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoSS Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Sounds like a job for SimonR - the X-Lank should be on the market soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing this would be a major modification as far as an insurer goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big.Mike Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Or see http://nakatanenga-t...71764359274.jpg Hi Henk, I like the look, not sure how it would help as it's the same as my existing risers just in stainless (?) strip.

simonr Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Mike, I have the same issue - except I'm 3" shorter than you! My current 110 is fine as it has no mid bulkhead and the seat goes back just far enough. On previous vehicles with a bulkhead I just cut a slot in the lip between the bulkhead and seat box for each runner then used a pair of Riv-Nuts in holes 30mm or so further back from the originals. If you want to borrow my Riv-Nut tool and I'll give you some Riv-Nuts - you'd be welcome since you're local! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Cheers Si, I'll take you up on that... I'll let you know when I'm around, it might be a good time to buy some of those X-Eng goodies i've had my eye on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
