Surely you could lower that mounting clamp by 6"?

Yes the lower the better,i had one and found the weight high up didn't help the handling

And move the seat back?

Won't moving the seat back make the handling worse not better?

When you've finished put a sack of spuds or similar in and go for a spin to test it out.

I have seen a recumbent trike with a child seat that put the child above the reader's head.

That also caused stability issues

There's a braze on brake cable guide in the way. I tried everything this morning

Yes it is. Will check that out

Can't you just cut a new outer and run a longer inner to go over the clamp which could then be mounted lower?

I think I would have to saw the brazed on cable guide off the frame and although I probably will end up doing that, I was hoping to avoid it
