Locost seat spacer/mount
I have a floor mount grp seat but because of where I need to mount it I need to lift the rear slightly, which will have the added benefit of improving
the driving position for me. I was in the garage last night having a planning night while I wait for buts to arrive and remembered a solution I had
seen to this type of problem before on another forum and subsequently orders two of these to modify for the purpose...
Will let you know how I get on!

surely there has to be a less costly way to get hold of engineering plastics?

Arent they hollow plastic though and likely to collpase with any major weight once drilled though?
If you have screw fixings in the base whats wrong with a load of penny washers?

The ones i saw used before were solid, and you can pick these up very cheap, I paid £3.08 for two delivered to my door.
Penny washers would work but due to how much I need to lift the rear I wouldnt like to stack penny washers that high, and these being wider will
spread the load.
If it doesnt work, not much lost.

Block of wood would work just as well. If it could be seen wrap it in black tape or paint it.

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

You want one of these maybe, but being solid rubber will be quite heavy.

I was thinking of getting one as a jack top protector. Cut a small 30mm reccess in one face, fix the other to the jack and it should protect my
chassis when jacking off the frame.
