Hi Russ,

the width between the transmission tunnel & inner face of the side of the chassis is 45cm,
the length from the brake pedal to the center of the seat (backrest/spine area) is 126cm.
obviously the actual pedal box plate is further forward than the brake pedal but thought the point from the brake pedal at natural rest position gives a better measurement to work from for you.

The above measurements have been taken from Spuds car, & as said he is 6ft 7in tall.

hope this helps.

cheers
andy

Hi Russ, I am in Bracknell. My chassis is far enough along so you could come and have a sit in it and see what it feels like size wise. Drop me a pm if you want to arrange.

I know this is really cheeky, but could you give me the measurement from side to side? As in from one side of the inner chassis to the other, so i can see the total width of the body? Any pictures of this car?

Again i cannot thank you enough
