ParsleyTheLion Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Am I the only person who can't reach the heater control knob when strapped into the driver's seat? My car's a new SV Roadsport, and I'm 6' 2". I don't use the seat in its most rearward notch - but I can't reach to adjust the heater without slipping my arm out of the shoulder straps. Has anyone come up with a particularly nifty modification (to their car)? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Day Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I can't reach my handbrake either, however mine's a proper 7 not one of those namby pamby offerings with a handbrake where my left elbow resides. 😬 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone Rat Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 If it's of help I've had exactly the same problem & have used the spacer solution. Due to the min order requirement I've got a spare. It's a 8cm nylon one & seems to work OK. Welcome to it otherwise it'll just end up in the toolbox. Someone may as well get the use of it. Do need to use thread lock otherwise it drops of into your lap on a regular basis. Email me if you'd be interested.

spiderlane Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi Andy. Can I have 2nd dibs on the spacer if Parsley doesnt want it? (apologies for the hijack) ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParsleyTheLion Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Thanks very much for the offer. I'm now sorted (made a brass one). Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone Rat Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hi there SL, If you want to email me a contact address I'll stick them in the post over the weekend, I suppose they're closed tomorrow & I'll be off to the Beacons ASAP It still involves a little strech to use the heater. If you extend it enough so that it's easy to reach it just irritates the R knee all the time. Ergonomics eh! Andy NB it's not a heater - it's an ancillary cooling system!
