I'm 6 ft. tall and drive quite a few bench seat Novas [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] ...no problem here. Maybe the back/forth mechanism is hanging up and restricting full movement??

I installed a set of seat track extenders designed for a 1969 drivers bucket seat. I bought the pair of long brackets from Nitro Rat that sells on E-bay and the quality is first rate. The last time I had a bench seat car has been about 5 years ago but from what I remember I flipped the brackets upside down and I might of drilled two additional holes to make them work. These added 2 inches of leg room but it also raised the seat about a 1/2 of an inch.

If you're good at fabricating you many be able to relocate the seat mounting points by reworking the tracks. I modified my bucket seats to add two inches to the rear by taking it from the front of the tracks. Cut and weld. Floor mounting is the same, but your seat is further back and dropped down a bit lower for head room. Very hard to notice, but the extra room made a difference.

Just to be clear I drilled the holes in the brackets to make them work everything else was left untouched.
