Driver height/size limitations

[solder_guy]

Those momo wheels are pretty strange looking ..

Maybe get a steering wheel like this one?? Then you can put pastries on it. Might occasionally hurt in the groin!

The answer seems to be you 'might' fit.

 

I'm 6'1" with 34" inseam, and size 12 feet, and can get comfortable enough for long drives (have to do that foot under the clutch pedal thing). I did replace the original steering wheel with a smaller Momo wheel (a round one, call me old school), and that make getting in and out a bit easier, but at 210 lbs I'm a little chunkier than some

 

Best advice - already given - is try one on for size (more than one if you can find them).

Or build it to fit you from the start

6'2", 240lbs, 36"waste, 33"inseam, 13 shoe, Racing or racetype shoe Puma..They don't like me at tech, something about the helmet roll bar height thing..so I tell them, "But really I just don't want the rollbar scratched"

Mine is a 73' stock floor, short cockpit and low rollbar that fits under the top. Still thinking of dropping the floor and for track days a taller bar. and I look right at the small windshield frame. If I were to buy a new one...they are the long cockpit, but I'd drop the floor, and if I did the wide one... then I wouldn't have a reason to stay on a reasonable diet:)

In a nut shell you'll fit,(But you didn't mention your inseam) Can't send someone out to buy you a suit, going to have to try it on to see if you really fit.

7 and comfort don't get used in the same paragraph, 7 and fun, giggles, grin, thrill...do

36"waste

 

Ouch.

Heheh Perhaps he just has access to better grub

OK, 6' - 4", size 11 shoe, 210 pounds and I don't have the seat in my SV all the way back.

Which, no doubt, results in the bigger poo...... (waste, not waist)?

 

[TonyI]

OK, can I get a mulligan on that one. I just came back home from Monument Colorado with one nap in Iowa for about an hour...but if you must know after sitting for 21 hours,Wendys,McDonalds and Chex mix... probably not that far off:lol:

Since I live only a few minutes away from BAM, Seth (SR27.Seth) was kind enough to let me see if a Seven was possible for my size... I'm 6'5" 200lbs, 35" inseam, size 13 shoe. I fit quite well, minus maybe the pedals needing slight tweaks to make it work. However, I didn't bother check the rear hoop height so that may be a concern eventually.

You can always make a taller roll bar/cage.

 

At 5' 8" and between 170 and 180 depending on the size of dinner, I obviously fit with no probs. I've even driven the car wearing Red Wing workboots. And have amazed Tom G (YellowSS7) by getting into the car in one motion with the top up and the wheel on.
