Has same issue -- I'm 6'4 with long legs. Seats are bit too bucketed for me. Went cheap option and made a firm cushion to fill the 'bucket'. Much better driving position for me. Sit higher, not bent forward, and there's plenty of head room left. But you may wish to notch the head rest so it can be raised further than the standard positions make it a bit safer for a whiplash situation! It also decreases field of vision when you look out the rear window from rear view mirror..... which makes me think rear wiper may have been better in reverse swipe position..... or I may just have to clean the window more often.

seat alteration

i recently put some granada seats in my fourtrack
using the original bases, using 2 inch by 1 inch box section onto the bases and also welding the box to the granada runners. This is a pretty tricky job but with care has a successful result, it highers the seat, plus the granada seats are slightly higher on the seat base. You can also higher the granada seats as they have a winder to go up and down. If you know a decent welder he wont find this a difficult job.
