Hi Christian,
just a few thoughts:
* is extending your tubes not an option?
* Or a seat plate and separate tubes für your back? (a split seat was suggested
just the other week on this list)
* Jürgen build his seats with seatbelts on the p3 i think. This was also a
foldable, small-space-solution
greetings,
DirkS
