Fitting tall guys in Cab 11/12's

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Guys

You just about have to be able to touch your nose with your knee to be able to get into either a Pat 12 or 13. That's why I go to exerciser class 3 times a week.

Getting your left leg and but into either of them is not bad, its pulling that right leg in because of the wheel cut out. I was a little 5'7" over when I got my first CMP 35 years ago, time has worn me down to 5'5" which is probably a good thing in terms of getting in and out of the CMPs.

One thing that does help is make sure your seat slide actually works, I've added a second spring to the seat rail so I have springs on both rails this helps the seat slide straight in the track. If I remember to hit the seat release and slide the seat all the way back before getting out it does make getting in easier.

If you are really tall and have a Pat 12 you may want to remove one or both of the wooden seat spacers to lower the seat.

Guess the best thing is to try on a CMP before acquiring.

Cheers Phil
