I feel your guy's pain; as I'm 6'5.5" & is definitely a cockpit fit...with leather touring/heated seats & adjustments all the way down...snug fit.
And I have long legs & glad to have the 7A/T for extra room down bottom...38" jeans & 270lbs...so I fill everything up.
I currently have drivers seat out & rails off.
I've removed the electric motor & crossover connection.
I'm gonna drill out rivets that hold feet to rails (as all 4 are different) and make some new ones...Gonna start with the inward bracket/rail,,,(because it's already designed lower than outer rail) and see if I can make one 1-1.5"lower & then have the same amount removed from others.
I'm not planning to cut & weld these-just make some that will bolt to the rails w/good fasteners.
Been sidelined past 10 days w/knee replacement & good opportunity to spend some time here. I have dragraced a few times & helmet is against rooftop ,,,have to lean seat back to more uncomfortable position to make all fit....No-Way I could track the car like this.
I'll repost my findings;as I plan to do it this week.probably will seek a lighter/wider seat in the future for any kinda track raciyi may perform...but fabricating what I have for now.
