Dave - That's useful to know. I was wondering whether a reclined driving position might be an option - taller drivers just bending their knees a bit more. Hmmmm, it would make life easier and give me another 25mm seat height to play with.

That said i'm not knocking anyone who does fit a sliding seat, especially if they're "well ard", as while i can see that sliding seats can be useful, I'm not totally convinced that they're needed in a Sammio/Ribble?

Just food for thought
I know where you're coming from, DC. My main reason for wanting runners on a sloping floor was to allow my rather petite wife to drive it occasionally. As you can see from the photo of her in the seat with it set for me though, she fits just fine without it being moved.



It does also provide security for the luggage bay as you have to slide both seats fully forward before you can open it, even if you know it's there. Additionally, moving the passenger seat forwards frees up extra luggage space behind it and still leaves plenty of leg room in the passenger foot well.

You pays your money, you take's your choice.
