Some of us are still here. I was busy watching Wisconsin defeat UA-Anchorage in
hockey last nite.
I just measured the Bugeye. FWIW, I get 20 1/2" from the tunnel (carpet removed)
to the sill trim panel just aft of the cross member in front of the seats and 21
1/2" behind the seats, tunnel to sill trim.
Another thing to be aware of, the drivers side footwell floor does NOT have the
raised section for a floor mounted accelerator pedal; at least mine did not. I
had to build it up. The floors on later Spridgets with the pendulum pedal are
concave there. One has to convert to a later pedal or get creative. Maybe
there
are some proper floors out there, but I didn't notice the difference until too
late.
Regards,
Dave
