Subject: Re: [simpits-tech] Seat Adjustment

Yea I know, but I am trying to avoid stepping in and out on the seat so I
wanted to have about 8 inches in front of the seat to step in and then slide
forward.  I was planning on a pedal adjustment as well, but I have not
thought about how to do that yet.

Ejection seats don't adjust like that Ed. :)  You need to adjust the
pedals instead.  The only adjustment the seat can make is up-down with
about a 5 or 6 inch range.

Anybody have fore / aft seat adjustment ideas.  I was thinking about
drawer slides but they will not take the weight.  Second option is 4
casters in an aluminum trough and some type of locking mechanism...
