How can I say, today is really a good sunday.]
Now, I'm happy like a child on Christmas Day, but, with the seat all ahead, I can't reach the pedal.
If you unscrew the pedal box cover under the bonnet you can adjust them.Now, I'm happy like a child on Christmas Day, but, with the seat all ahead, I can't reach the pedal.

Congrats Antonio. Looks great.
As CanAm notes, the pedals have three holes that can be used to reposition. Hopefully yours are currently on the furthest setting (there'll be other options if not
).
I've open the pedal box and I understand almost nothing As CanAm notes, the pedals have three holes that can be used to reposition. Hopefully yours are currently on the furthest setting (there'll be other options if not

Not sure to understand how can I move all the three pedal together... All the box have probabily 50 rivnuts to fix in position.
Sorry for bother. I've ready everywere about those three position but maybe I'm too tired....

Ahhhhh
Easy than I guess.
So I will check again. I really hope that is in the farest position but you broke my dream.
They do look like they're in the middle, but a small adjustment can make a lot of difference.Easy than I guess.

Should that not be enough, I would have thought it pretty straightforward to modify the way the seats is fitted to bring it further forwards.
How far off are you from fitting OK?

For sure I can't move more forward with the seat because, if do, I will be really too much close to the windscreen.
I will put the seat to be confortable with the gear stick, then I will ask for move the rest

I'm sure it must be possible to add further holes for the pedals...but likely to be quite awkward.
I would expect it to have enough adjustment. My daughter was driving mine at 16 and I suspect she was probably about 1.6m tall then. How tall are you?
When you move the pedals, you will need to adjust each to get them in the right position. The brake is adjustable on the m/c push rod, the clutch on the lock nuts outside the pedal box and the throttle at the engine end iirc.
I expect you'll get there without anything drastic.
Car looks fab BTW, congrats on the purchase!

I'm 1.71, short legs but until Yesterday I've thought to be more or less "normal".
TBH I would like, if possible, to stay far from the screen as much as possible. Now I finish a couple of email and I wil go in the box for have a look.

Well I'm only half a inch taller (sorry about mixing units) so you should be fine even with short legs 
And don't forget to re-adjust the brake light switch as well once when you adjust the brake pedal!
Solved!And don't forget to re-adjust the brake light switch as well once when you adjust the brake pedal!
Move the pedal screw, set the distance with the register, Seat runner is more or less half way.
It's possible to move the steering wheel a little to get a littlecloser to me? Maybe less than 1 inch Will be perfect!
Sorry to bother all of you but I want to be sure before to touch something. My first fun car, I always worked on bike.
Now I have some electrical minor issue.....
