Some chassis have mounts to move the entire pedal box forward. Also you can adjust the steering wheel height. Moving the seat and reclining the seat angle also go a long way.
Find out what chassis you have (who makes the tubes - not the brand) and google seat setup. There are some non obvious tricks.
Also get a small press if your kart club doesnt have one for straightening tie rods. A sniper is nice to have. Get a good quality race tire pressure gauge. Make sure you have a decent kart stand and never transort your karts on the stand unless it is a stacker... we learned this one the hard way arriving at a race with a kart off the stand and a bent chassis. We will be selling much of our kart gear this year (or next).

It's a full size chassis, they talked me out of a cadet size kart for a couple reasons. Along with the kart he included a new seat that fits her better with no holes drilled through yet. So it will have to be mounted a little higher and closer for her. He also included a set of mounting blocks for both pedals. These will mount to the floor board and have a good amount of adjustment in them. I'll need to fab up or source some shorter linkage rods for the brake and throttle pedals. As far as steering wheel height goes, I'm still not certain how adjustable it is. It needs to remain higher than the front body work piece. I'm running out to pick it up and take it home tonight, so I'll be learning much more in the next few days.
