Outstanding suggestion. I think moving the seat back and bolting to the floor would definitely be in order due to height. Then if I diet about three weeks at wife's behest I should be good to go, unless I buy a used SPF with a seat like Dennis described. More drastic alterations may become necessary, like grease the seat with Crisco and drive naked!
