Default More leg room

Does anyone know of a vendor that sells parts to move the driver side seat back on the tracks for more leg room?

I would go for anything that helps !!
There isn't much back there before your bumped-up against the back seat.

At 6' 5", 255 lbs it's about all the room I got to get my big-a$$ in there,
I didnt have the legroomto bang gears in amanual,
Thats why I got an automatic,
So when my wifes Taurus goes,I'll get a Galaxy 500, Torino or a Fairlane

None that I know of either. As big as the mustang is, not much of a market out there for them. Although at 6'6', I'd go for a set!

The seat position travel is a little odd. It will go forward so far that no one could possibly fit in there. With some more planning they could have easily positioned the seat tracks quite a way further back to make more leg room. From what I can tell it would be imposable to remove the seat from the track assembly and just drill new mounting holes in the seat. There isn’t enough space on the front bottom part of the seat to drill new holes. Because ofthis it would take some special extender brackets to move the seat back on the track assembly.

I'm sure it's possible by taking out the track yourself and drilling more holes in the rear more towards the rear passangers seats.

It wouldn't be hard to fabricate a different track position for you tall Mutants.
I did fit a 95 Mustang seats on the 1970 tracks for my Cougar. Took me 20 minutes.

I could even imagine need more room. Im only 6ft. though, but these car do have a ton of leg room compared to other IMO.

Take a look under the driver side seat and you will see that it is more complicated on these cars. I’ve moved the seats in a number of cars but this one is going to need some brackets fabricated.
