Re: Ease of entry
In response to what Karl said, I have raised my seat by about an inch, and stiffened the springs. In addition, I have made sure that the springs can't sink down as much as they would otherwise (and did before), by fitting a 1/4-inch sheet of Alumalite under it.
The more I have to bend my legs in order to operate the pedals, the less comfortable it is. The higher I sit, not unlike in a pickup, the less I have to bend my legs. Again, I'm 6-6 and weigh over 250 pounds.
I also have a lot more room in my Roadster as I removed the package shelf and due to an ingenious construction of my own design, put the seat back about 2 inches on top and 4 inches on the bottom. Invisible to anybody but an expert, but it makes all the difference in the world. I can truly say that I sit very comfortably in my Model A now, and that's quite a statement for a tall guy like me.
