    I am a new proud owner of a 575M and know this is one of the more roomy models but I feel a bit cramped. I've read some post on how changing the seat and or getting rid of the rails and making the seat fixed can add room. My question is what is behind the seats and can that space be utilized to give me more room to move the seat back.

    Thanks in advance for the advise.

    Carlos- Welcome. There are all kinds of ECUs behind the driver's seat in the 575M, among them the F1 TCU and its relays. You might be able to buy a little extra space by modifying the carpeted panel behind the seats, since most of the ECU componentry is down pretty low. That panel is easy to remove if you want to yank it and take a look. On some 575Ms, that panel is covered in leather rather than carpet, and the leather would be a bit thinner than the carpeting, so another option.

    Also looks like the contact point is way higher than the bulkhead. More like the trim piece above it.
