We had the same issue! We have just ordered our tamora and to get around it the factory will make a double height cushion for both sides as we are both below 5ft 5"!. You just remove the old one (its velcroed in) and then fit the double one. I am pretty sure they can do them aftermarket as well.

Did you also go for a small persons pedal box when you ordered your car?

Jigs, If I could move my stomach to my a*** that would work, Maddog Would you mind telling me how much you paid for that seat option thingy?

I'm with Rolex on this one...definitely a booster cushion and some wooden blocks on the pedals for me!! When we went for our test drive at Peninsula - brilliant, by the way- thanks Richard-I was conscious of the seat/pedal position. Good to know this can be fairly easily rectified.

It's not too dificult to lift the seat using longer bolts through the floor and some spacers - the seats bolt to the chassis, and it's easy to do - use washers to raise the seat, and tilt the seat backwards a little - that helps with thigh support.

Sorry for the slow reply!

The small persons pedal box is actually the normal pedal box moved forward by your dealer before you take the car as I understand it! The double height seat cushions are a zero cost option and they will also supply standard ones as well, in case you have a tall passenger!

I'm 5' 4" and find the T350's driving position fine - don't even have the seats all the way forward. Am I abnormally propotioned, or just very used to lowdown sportscar seating?!
