Jim -
The other option is to cant the set back a couple of degrees which I've done
on my BJ8 and it makes all the difference in the world. I put a wedged wood
spacer on top of the seat rail and fiddled a bit with various nuts and bolts
to fit the seat on above the spacer and ... well... I can drive in the BJ8
all day long in perfect comfort.
