RE: Fuse dimensionsHi Jeff,
I only cut a portion of the bulkhead out, and put some extra pieces of wood
in that area...Just made it so my legs have plenty of room. Moving the
rudder bar forward about 5".....
Don't really have any photos...
I should take some! I will take some next time I am there and send to you!
Dave

Dave,
I can't visualize this (sorry, I have no imagination). When you say you
removed the front seat, does that mean you discarded the bulkhead that forms
the back of the front seat? I thought this is a structural member. If you
mean otherwise, please expand. A picture is worth a thousand words, too.
Thanks much,
Jeff
Hey Mark,
I am 6'2" Built the short Fuse.... sat in it, and thought no way...
Removed the front seat... and now it's perfect! I will be using the
front for storage.
Maybe a long range fuel tank! I also was able to move my wind screen
forward a few inches.
I now have a nice roomy cockpit!
Dave
