Just contacted the Morgan factory by e-mail with a suggestion.
Dear Sirs,
Love to own a M3W, but just don't fit. I am 6'6 and the cockpit does not offer sufficient legroom.
I tried following:
-pedal box adjustment
-steering wheel spacer
-narrower tunnel cover from Germany
-seat bottom adjustment
No luck.
I know of a guy who did following:
"For the pedal cluster I designed and fabricated a custom mechanism that allowed me to change the orientation of the master cylinder and move the entire cluster forward ~3 inches past the previous forward-most mounting point. This nailed it. I can actually stretch my feet out and put my seat cushion back in. ".
May I suggest you develop such an upgrade for existing cars and/or offering it as a option when ordering new.
By doing this, you will enable tall guys also to enjoy the M3W!!
Looking forward to your thoughts in this matter.
Kind regards from the Netherlands,
Hans
It is true, leg/body proportions make a difference. I am over 6ft 4" and if I were another 2" tall it wouldn't make too much difference in my car. I discussed the spacer option with Steve Morris (the MD of Morgan) at Berrybrook when I ordered my car. He thought it may be an option they could offer. Two options you may not have tried, lighter shoes and a late build car (pedals can be moved further forward and gearstick has also been repositioned). Shoes suitable for M3W owners with clown feet are cheaply available in the UK via post. PM me if you need details. I don't check here too often so if it is urgent email via my blog.
