If you can drill a new hole, you can do it. ;-)

I found out that the height of the seat has not so much influence on the
position of your knees (and hence control stick movement), but the
distance between the seat back and neutral rudder pedals is of great
importance. Just 1 cm does wonders. I couldn't create much more space
for my back, so I worked on the other end; the rudder pedals.

Seems like the Europa was not designed with the Dutch and Scandinavian
people in mind, who tend to be somewhat taller than the rest of Europe.
The solution is not a high-top, but rather more leg space.
