Have a look at the thread 'Will I fit: footwell length and driver height' it's only a week or so old and in the chassis section. From that the chassis seems to be vary accomodating to the taller and 'larger' driver.

Hope that helps

Many thanks Steve, just had a read, it does seem as if i can stick to the std chassis legnth

Will do now mate

I only worry due to me being mostly leg, i drove a Caterham at the weekend that belongs to a friend and i couldnt drive it very well at all, when i lifted off the pedals my knees hit the steering wheel, and also my elbow was half over the passenger side! (good job i didnt have a passenger with me)

Is the Heynes chassis longer/wider than the Caterham chassis?

Im sorry im a real rookie with kit cars!
