Re: question about cockpit room of various kits.

i beg to differ

i can only go by P1003 and MK3-1103. 1003 has a pedal box that can be unbolted and moved into a different position. there is plenty of leg room for me and i'm 6ft2. in the passanger side I have to slide down out of the seat to be able to get my feet to the very end. don't forget the coolant pipes also run down the centre effectivly splitting the footwell into two.

in 1103 the pedal box is fixed in one position but it is the seats that are the problem. they are very bulky and slide on runners. with the seat out i can barely touch the pedals. thinner seat would be the answer for me. there are no coolant pipes running down the centre so loads more footwell room.

i been passanger in a GTD and the footwell was tiny compared to the real thing.


and going on a tangent i found the real Cobras also have more room than you would think. the 427 i played with i couldn't have the seat right back as i couldn't reach the pedals. again the kit i drove felt a lot more cramped.
