More of a sure fire cure ??

Find a 101 spider, and buy it !!

Remove the stop from the seat track, and trim the rear tips of the upper
halfs of the tracks at an angle which matches the floorboards.

I sat comfortably in a 101 spider with these mods, legs supported by the
seat, plenty of headroom no bumping steering wheel with legs, arms straight
to the wheel.
