Ric, Being fat is not the problem. The problem is my arm length and pant length is exactly the same as JT's except 1" shorter on the pants. JT's 6'4" and I'm 5'10". Long appendages but you wouldn't know about those things. Anyway,...for either of us to fit in a DB6 we have the wheel up against the dash and have modified the pedals to get them further forward than a stock adjustment would allow. My bead seat is 1/2" thick between the cell and my back and JT uses nothing. He sits on the bare floor and fuel cell. Both of us have our helmets jamed against the rollbar cowel. There is just no room for a Hans or any other type of H&R that sits behind the helmet or extends any further past the rear of the helmet. The Hutchens setup looks too much like something a kinky ex girlfriend used to break out every once in a while and I just don't need those kind of flashbacks!
