i'm a traditionally built 6ft also catch my calf's on it when going through the gap,
i think swift move the passenger seat more central in the cab which reduces the space, so close now that for added security i use a short section of chain and padlock the corners of the 2 seats together when parked up using an alarmed padlock i bought at the shrewsbury show.
well I have been and looked at our seats, I understand what you all mean, however the drivers seat can only go so far back until it hits the steering wheel.I have also noticed that we do not push the passenger seat all the way back, only until the seat can swivel without hitting the other lounge seats.
why in a small cab you should want to face one another I dont know, or should I not ask, as turning inwards gives you much more room.

hi cabby as you can see from the photo we have a small round table fixed as well as the big table which swings around to the seat when turned to the side which is handy for the laptop to sit on or eat a snack when parked up en-route plus if want to sit with your feet up in between a trip to elevate them ( ankles swelling )that's why we have the seats facing each other.as you said with only having a small cab and we can only seat 9 people comfortably that's why we have our seats facing . jud
your photo explains all, fortunately we have more room so that the seat could be turned almost a full circle if needed.
It seems that we need an attachment to the ends of the runners that do not come off when sliding forwards or backwards.
Or a pair of shin pads on reverse.
I am the 'OP' and, in response to Zebedee's earlier entry, I have periodically logged on and read the various responses and herewith 'publically' thank you all!
I'm afraid Kev1 was unknowingly closest to the mark with 'amputation' as I work full time in a busy NHS A&E Dept. and don't yet have the time to follow 'leisure pursuit' Forums to any degree on a frequent basis I am afraid I'm therefore one of those who have to 'dip in and out'
Incidentally I did try the 'pipe lagging' and covering tricks without much success. I will now see if I can move the runners on the swivel base as suggested. In the meantime we find that if we move the table in the Twin right back towards the bench seat and move the swivelling seats forward it 'overhangs' the sharp bits.
I had a further thought - these teasers come to mind when you wake up early and can't get back to sleep!
Would it be worth moulding a bit of Plastic Padding or something similar around the projecting bits of the runners. You should be able to round off the sharp corners but still allow the runners to slide freely, and PP is very easy to trim with a hacksaw blade or b'stard file if a bit of firtling is necessary after it has set.
It could be painted black and would be hardly visible. Better than any flexible covering which (as you say) tends to foul the runners when you slide the seat.
