 and now get several more inches of leg room which helps immensely.  It
 is easy, remove seat from track, make two cuts on each track for each
 new detent and remove the little piece of waste metal, clean up rough
 edges with file, (make sure new detent is as wide as others), re-install
 seat, enjoy more leg room.  Yet another of the secrets I learned here on
 the list.

also, you can cut the stops on the track off, so that you can slide the seat
all the way back, ands out, and flip it around so it faces backwards.
