I looked at this as well. The seat cannot move outboard much if any as it
is a pretty tight fit against the sill.
The diaphragm is pretty much shot, but the PO has put some straps under the
rubber diaphragm to hold things up (or is this original?) Does someone have
a photo of the stock underseat support that I might check against ours for
originality?

|Bob,
| Since the seat frame is hitting the tunnel, there is much adjustment
|left. But you might remove the seat and examine the tracks. Possibly you
|could drill new holes in the tracks, a bit offset and to the rear, so
|that the track could be located a bit farther forward and offset to get
|greater clearance from the tunnel. The bolts go down through the tracks
|into captive nuts under the floor, which are prone to rusting, so give
|generous applications of Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster, etc before yanking
|hard on them.
| How are the straps/diaphram under the seat? If perished, the driver
|sits low and tends to sit farther back in the seat than when they are
|supporting the foam cushion.
