Bob,
The easy solution is simply to gain about 40 pounds. Then you push the
seat down farther and can easily clear the steering wheel -- at least
with your legs. Works for me. :-)
Seriously -- a friend once had a similar problem with his late-model
Mustang which he was setting up for track days with the Shelby club. He
needed an inch or so of clearance to fit while wearing a helmet.
He took the seat cover off, removed about an inch from the top of the
seat foam, then reinstalled the seat cover, using a little adhesive to
keep it smooth. Looked stock, wore well, and gave him enough room to
wear his Snell 90 while wearing out his front tires and brake pads. :-)
