Subject: Re: [Healeys] Tall Drivers; Was BJ8 driver seat repositioning
For all those prospective Healey owners who are taller than average, it's a
act of life that the BN4, and BT7 roadsters are the ones that will allow
he seat travel to go further back than any other model without getting into
odifications. Their rear quarter trim panels sit in a position that will
ot interfere with seat travel until much further back than other models.
The seat runners in all models will allow the seat to go back further than
he various trim panels and other obstructions in the car will actually
llow.
On the Hundred, it's the back of the seat back that will interfere with the
op assembly when in the stowed position.
n the BN6, BN7 two seater roadsters, it's the seat back interfering with
he rear quarter panels, stirrups and folded top assembly.
On the BJ7 and BJ8 Convertibles, it's the seat back interfering with the
ear quarter trim panels.
We have conveyed this fact to a number of long legged prospective Healey
uyers and it's been a point they took into consideration before they
ought.
I'm lucky, at 5 ft. 8 1/2" I can fit just fine in all of them!
