mods for little people 700 90

posted by  someone claiming to be Art Lambe on  Wed Nov 15 13:55 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Been reading the postings about mods for tall folk. I have the opposite problem. My wife is 5'-0" and has the seat way up and forward to see and reach the pedals. Number two son (14 yrs) due to medical condition will be about same height when grown. I expect he will be driving one of the bricks.

We had a tragic death here in Toronto some months back when a woman in a brand new 2000 Mercedes was in a ~10 mph collision. The airbags went off and she was too close to the steering wheel. No airbags in my bricks but I still worry.

Anyone know about pedal extensions or other mods I can do to get the driving position right?
