Pat B.

I do not think that it takes any brilliance to do what I spoke of.

Honestly, everyone of the manufacturers/builders of these cars has an opportunity to make the footboxes any shape and length that is needed. Longer, wider, dropped etc. (Within certain constraints, of course. But that's a BB thing.)

Or to put the pedal assembly where they wish, make the seats wide enough to fit the adult US male as per David K's post. Etc. Etc.

Really it is but the work of a moment to sort out SRP point, H point to heel point, seat height and reach numbers.

That is just workman like design.

Not a leap of invention. (That takes brilliance.)

Bill E,

Cool, you have obviously done what is required in your design to fit humans. Now the rest of the folks need to step up to the plate.



Folks, as Short Bob has posted many times, You can fit real humans in these things if you just think about it and design to it.
