Lowered
RV8 seats
A
frequent difficulty drivers who are tall in the body encounter
in an RV8 is their line of sight can be close to the top of
the windscreen and sun visor. So a tall driver will tend to
adopt a crouched driving style. The seats on an RV8 are plush
as they are well upholstered in Connolly leather in a Stone
Beige colour and even with use they do not settle easily or
a great deal. For many faced with this difficulty, finding a
way of lowering the driving seat is essential. Here we have
an article and notes on the topic. |

Lowering
an RV8 seat
Roger Davies contributed a note describing a simple modification
to the seats in his RV8 which has allowed him to lower the seat
height by a whole inch and a half. He now gets a view of the
road ahead instead of a view of the sun visor. This modification
is not suitable for everyone but can be considered by those
who do not use the seat slider mechanism, as this part is removed.
It may be worth considering if you are 6ft or over and only
you or similar height people drive your car and do not need
to alter the seat position in the future. Roger provides more
detail in his RV8NOTE233. 060105
