MG TD TF 1500 - Need another dimension

Since my seat back (squab) is such a builtup disaster I'm looking for dimensions taken from bottom of steering wheel rim back to the front face of the seat back trim. My car measures 14inches. I think my seat back is too thick. I feel like I'm sitting too close to the steering wheel even though the seat back is as far rearwards as it can go and the steering wheel is as far forward as it can go. Greg & Grimm

Greg - I kept meaning to get this measurement for you, but kept forgetting to do it, so I just went down and measured that distance on our TD. It too is 14", but the wheel is not all the way forward (gives a bit more clearance for the legs that way). This seems to be a comfortable distance for us, but this might have something to do with my being 6' 2" and weighing only 175 lbs (some people accuse me of having to stand up twice to cast a shadow).

I am tempted to make a wisecrack about how we would not have this problem if we were still on a 1951 English Post War austerity diet.

But I won't

Cheers, Matthew.
