hey guys I was just wondering do we have any tall drivers here? I'm 6 foot 4 and just a bit concerned I won't fit. I've seen that you can get some brackets for the seat and a bracket for the column. but just how much do they help?

Can you do that with cobra classics as thats what i am looking into buying?

[mattbrown]

im not sure, i assume you may be able to, i will post a picture of mine later on, the only problem with the ones fitted to mine are that the back seat is now completely useless

It will all depend on the seats you have.

I am 6'4 and just have the standard seats in mine as far back as they go, the prev Mini I owned had the seat extention brackets and still only went back as far as the current seats.

My mate with a pickup is 6'2" he can drive that without issues and you can get he seat further back in other body types

My mini has a set of foor mount extentions. The drivers seat can't be release and lifted because it's 3" further back then stock. Yesterday at our Club Christmas party we had a 6'7" gentleman in the car and he was surprised by the amount of room in the car.

Yeah with the seat extension bracket things you'll be absolutely fine. I'm 6'3 and have absolutely no problem, got a mate that's 6'6 and he finds his mini spacious! So don't worry and don't let "mini" put you off..

here is a picture of the ones in mine, plenty of legroom, just not that comfortable lol
