Angling fibreglass seats
I've a very nice set of Triton seats, they just would appear to work better with the front mounts lifted up 1".
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? and no spacers at the front means the bolts would be running through the floor at a 10 deg angle (not
measured but you get the idea)

Can't see the small angle being a problem bolting the seats down.
Alternatively, could you side mount them?
There's readily availabke side mount plates fro Rally Design etc with pre-cut holes to allow angle seat mounting.

I like the angle of mine the way they are. I tried doing that, raising the front, and what it did was drastically reduce the amount of cockpit room
and make it harder to turn around when changing lanes etc. Of course, right now, I turn around and look at the back of my garage door, but you get the
idea.

Easy, make up a spacer that bolts to the seat but the thread or bolt required to bolt the seat down must be at an angle so use a block of ali and
machine or grind the angle you are after, drill an tap it then same other end.....if that makes sense?

Cheers all, i'm going to have to use a strip of steel to mount the seats to the existing seat holes.
So i'll use a thick bit of steel and use countersunk bolts which i then can angle.
Makes sense to me
