G’Day Chris / All,

From they way I have interpreted your post is it true that your legs are always in a bent position (Unsupported by the seat) when seated. I thought that this would become somewhat uncomfortable on a long trip?? Fortunately in this case I suffer from “Ducks Disease” so I will have to move the pedal box further towards me. Given that luxury the next question would be … Is there a method or formula that is used to determine the pedal box / seat position relative to the drivers seated position or is it just a matter of trial and error and personal preference. At the moment it looks like I will have to move the pedal box back by approximately 50mm to 75mm.
