Thanks Dave, I guess there is no way around it except maybe to use thin bucket seats. The funny thing is that the MG Midget doors were very small and the cockpit tight but in the unibody of the Midget the legroom went pretty far up along each side of the engine so you could stretch out once in the seat. Maybe if I use fiberglass bucket seats with only thin naugehyde coverings I can gain several inches further back and hence leg room. Well, I have to tell myself it would be worse with a '27 if that is any consolation. Anybody else have another solution other than thin bucket seats?
