does anyone know if there is much involved in re mounting the drivers seat in a zook?? im looking at buying an old clapped out zook and building it up, but im 6'8 tall and as they are standard there is no way i will fit in one of these little buggers but what can i say i just love em and have always wanted to build one up so i was wondering if there is much involved?

I am 6'6 and and have made room for myself.
All I did was fitted a sports steering wheel with an extension spacer for the boss machined up out of alluminium (Similar to a wheel spacer)
The wheel clears my knees quite well now.
I'm happy with the room

that's ok champ, I'll think of you next time I'm at the bar getting served because they can actually see me standing there or a hot chicky needs to jump on my shoulders at a concert
I'm 6'2 or 3 ish and have swift gti seats in mine. I've often toyed with the idea of a seat drop. wouldn't be to hard to do i don't think.

I'm 6'4" and i fit in a Zuk ute! I'm using a Marsh racing seat that is very upright and i clear the stock steering wheel fine.
You should be able to play around with the mounting of a seat quite easily as the seat mounts can be adapted with a metal plate and redrilled to put the seat further back without too many dramas
