I've relocated the tracks back a bit for taller drivers on TR6's but not
forward. I would bet the same principle applies for the TR3's - check under
the car to make sure there's no frame member running under the floor where
you would want to create new holes for the tracks if you moved the tracks
forward. If you're okay, take the cushion off, remove the seat and then
the tracks and slide the tracks forward say one mounting hole so you can keep
the remaining mounting holes in the tracks lined up with the nuts. At this
point you could secure the track with the remaining holes, put the seat in
and see how it fits. If it works, drill new holes to secure the tracks.
Another way to get a good guess at how much you need to move the track is
to have your daughter sit in the seat and wiggle forward until she can
depress the pedals. Measure how far her back is from the rear cushion. Since
the rear cushion is attached to the seat it should move the same distance
the seat moves between clicks on the track.
Good luck...it'll work out.

does/has anyone ever put together longer seat tracks for the vertically
