Leg extensions

Never really heard that as a complaint. Most, like me adjust seat to where the pedals feel like a good place then really want the steering wheel closer and add a steering wheel spacer. That is opposite your situation. And by the way I sit in a very upright position.

 

Italian driving position. In those days human factors were what the engineers liked.

Personally I like the driving position but I'm not very tall. I do hit my fingers on the top of the dash sometimes because of the steering wheel being so angled. Its -- weird, but kinda quaint. An acquired taste along with having the pedals so far offset and the box so small.

 

The steering wheel mount under the dash is slotted so tilt is easily adjusted. Loosen the 2 bolts a bit and move it where you like it.

 

See! I learned something new every day here on Fchat!

Thanks!

 

They are but that's their charm. Today everything is cookie cutter 99% human factors. In those days whoever was the engineer did what he thought was right.

Its -- quirky. And I dare anyone over 6'2" 250lbs to try to fit in a 246 Dino GT. I fit perfectly. Most won't.

 

You're kidding! You didn't know that? There's also a pinch nut on the column that may need loosening. I dropped mine down and then added a spacer which helped clear my legs. Give it a go - you'll like the change in the feel of steering.

 

Well I've only driven it about a hundred miles before putting it in the shop. Yes I intend to!

 

When they came up with the design of the 308 they said - we can make it look like that but you're gonna have to sit like this...
