Re: [Chrysler300] Front Seat Comfort

[Richard Osborne <reomotorsports1@xxxxxx>]

Hi Keith,

I find that My G can adjust to a reclined position which is acceptable, no one else can drive it when in this position, but I guess that is the advantage of the 6 way adjustable seat. 

In one of my other old cars, I simply added a stack of washers under each of the front seat track mounting studs, therefore tilting the seat backwards. This is a non-power seat car. In either car, only my now 7 year old son can sit behind me as there is little legroom in the backseat due to my driving position. Of course this is difficult in the G as both bucket seats have to go with whatever I choose.

I may be a little taller than average. Just be sure to keep those legs moving and the blood flowing as I ended up with a blood clot a few years ago when driving the G across country.

Best regards,

Richard Osborne

I haven't yet machined them, but just before I do, I thought I'd better ask first. I certainly don't want to be reinventing the wheel.
