CR equips their seats with adjustable sliders nearly identicle to the ones Summit sells, except there's no rod between them, and only one side locks. Sounds screwy, but it works. Initially, the sliders hung up on the carpet, the seats wouldn't move at all when bolted down, and that worked fine for me. To get the sliders to move, I had to melt and flatten the carpet with a soldering gun along the seat track line.

My wife loves riding in it, and wants to drive it. Like teaching a teenager how to drive, we've been out of a few back roads getting accustomed to how the car behaves. The seat all the way back is fine for me, but the seat all the way forward still isn't enough for her to push the clutch down far enough. I'm in the process of designing a clutch pedal footpad that can install easily when she drives, come off easy when I drive.

Any of you tried this?

As an aside, how many of you have burned yourself on a hot droplight? Or worse, burned and melted your carpet with a hot droplight laying on the carpet (like working under the dash)? There are spiral fluorescent bulbs now that replace incandescent bulbs and they don't get hot! No more burned arms, hands, faces, or melted carpet. About six bucks in Home Depot. They don't survive being dropped too well, so get a spare.
