FE-FC Holden Discussion Forum

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

Originally an accessory to adjust the seat height. Became universally popular and by EK were virtually standard dealer upgrade.

Thanks - just wasn't sure if I needed them - though I will see once the seat is back in and I start driving her if I will need the seat raised or not.  ;D

Helen ..The seat spacers in my car were plastic and all crumbled on removal , got an aluminum set from Pete Mallaby member on this forum ,fitted quite well.he makes several items for 48 to 68 Holdens ...cheers Vern .

Pete Mallaby makes a great set of the spacers.

In our pano I used the fronts but left the back ones out as it gives the seat a bit of lay back

In the earlier FE's they were made from wood, which we're a little sturdier than the plastic

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.

My FE had its original wood spacers that had split. The aluminium ones I purchased from Pete were great. Installed without any issues. Recommend!
Cheers, Ken  :)

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.
