Would a couple of y'all be willing to measure from the furthest rear most part of the bottom seat cushion to the brake pedal and also from the same spot to the bottom edge of the steering wheel? Please indicate which seat and peddle assembling your using. Mk4 cars please. I understand that each car will be widely different but looking for some numbers. Thanks in advance!

Standard seat mounted to the floor, standard wood steering wheel. Wilwood pedals.
Seat to wheel 18"
Seat to pedal 38 1/4"
There is some adjustability on the pedal height with Wilwoods.
FFR also makes "big and tall" classic style seats.

Fantastic! Thanks guys. That's surprisingly fairly consistent car-to-car.

What are you looking for? There are some solutions for big guys if that is the issue. If you're claustrophobic, the headroom is great.

Just getting an idea of the space. I'm confident I'll fit and some good guys have lined up to let me sit in their cars. You are correct about head room. LOL

I have the Wilwood pedal assy trimmed and adjusted as far forward as possible. Steering shaft bushing raised 1/2” and Kirkey low backs mounted on the floor and all the way back. 42 3/4” and 21”
I had my seats upholstered and added more padding than the Kirkey covers. There’s probably and inch more room available with the stock Kirkey covers.
