Title: seat mounting bracket spacers Post by: Roybeth on May 08, 2020, 09:02:16 PM Hi All
I've read some posts and am still unclear as to if the seat mounting bracket spacers came with the cars originally or were they something put in later - and what they are actually for. TIA Title: Re: seat mounting bracket spacers Post by: Errol62 on May 09, 2020, 12:39:20 AM Originally an accessory to adjust the seat height. Became universally popular and by EK were virtually standard dealer upgrade.

Title: Re: seat mounting bracket spacers Post by: DJ on May 09, 2020, 03:05:09 PM I used a crumbling plastic one as a template to make some from a poly??? bread board. I needed a couple of layers glued together to make up the height so stacked 8 pieces, drilled & bolted them together before cutting out to shape. It was a little time consuming but worth the effort I thought. Had they been available from Pete back them I may have opted to save myself the time. His products are very good.

Cheers, Ken :) Title: Re: seat mounting bracket spacers Post by: Errol62 on May 09, 2020, 05:55:43 PM Yes I have a set of black Polly ones from Pete as well. I was going to use just the front ones in my FB ute, but when I trial fitted, found that the seat would only slide back to the third last hole due to touching the parcel shelf.
