Re-locate the drivers seat mount??

[jsbihn]

Has anyone ever relocated the drivers seat mounting position?
I dont know who designed the H2, but the placement of the drivers seat is a joke. The seat, fully retracted back on the tracks, is still extremely close to the steering wheel. I drive with the steering wheel in my lap and my arm bent quite a bit even though I am completely back on the tracks. What is even funnier is that the seat can go forward on its tracks til it actually touches the steering wheel.
WHO THE HELL NEEDS TO SIT THAT CLOSE!!

So I am thinking about re-locating the mounting points of the drivers seat and wondering if anyone has any pointers for me. I am thinking roughly 6-8 inches back. I know that the seat is sitting on a raised area, but I am wondering if the perch is duplicated (possibly weld in or bolt in a piece of metal the same height to hold up the seat), is there anything else that may need considerations.
