Drivers seat height adjustments

[auskenny]

MiteeWidge, thanks for the promising news! You wouldnt happen to have the spec's of the spacers? I'm not interested in making them myself, happy to pay someone to get a good job

I'm also wanting a set of these if anyone is making/selling them

[aaron.miller]

I'm getting a set made, I will ask my guy if he can make some more.

That would be fantastic! I'd be after 2 sets so I can do both seats

Mate,
if there is a chance of another set being added to the list I'd be interested too!

I'm also after two sets enough for driver and passenger seats
Cheers Shane

This was is the best mod I have done thus far to the Challenger

seat adjustment

Yes like others 30mm spacers required to make seats comfortable.
Just drilled and tapped some 30mm round and fitted stud to take seat nuts.

Notice that some that have done this mod are in the 6 foot+ range. Anyone in the 5' 7" range done this mod, and can you recommend it?
I do notice a gap between front of seat squab and my legs, so assume this would "fill the gap" so to speak, and provide a bit more leg support, even for us smaller types.
My thoughts would be a max 25mm lift based on comments of those who have tried various heights.
Also, can someone clarify the mounting of the seat rail to the spacer. I see reference to using a stud screwed into the spacer (which is screwed to the fixed floor stud), and then the original mounting nut used to attach seat to new stud. Is it not possible, and I would think more desirable, as one less thread to unscrew, that you just use a bolt through the seat into the spacer?

Just had a good look at the NewTriton site, and in particular the spacers that DiD3 makes. His are machined from a piece of solid steel rod by the looks, and I would guess around 25mm dia. Bottom side is drilled and tapped for 10mm 1.25 existing floor stud, and top is turned down and threaded as a stud to take the seat mount and orig mounting nut. He can make to order from 18mm to 30mm for $50 a set incl postage I think.

My guy said he can do extra sets, I will let you know how much they will be when he gets back to me.

I thought did3 was no longer doing them?

Will see what aaron comes back with, I'd imagine getting 1/2 dozen sets made in one go would make it alot cheaper then the odd 1 or 2

Seat spacers.

Should note that as Old Jack mentioned when this mod first began , critical to use a grade 8 bolts when fixing seat arm to the spacer. Getting technical - an engineering certificate is supposed to be obtained following this mod. Sure any engineering firm would knock out few sets for you on their slow days. I'm 5' 7'' and found 25mm suit fine. Also a bloke on EBAY [POH 53] was turning them out as well, but could not track them down last night when I looked.

At 6'3" very interested as well for both passenger and driver. My knee on a long drive went out of alignment and agony for two weeks until it mercifully came right. Challenger could do with more leg room not to mention foot space for size 48 feet.

Let me know if you want more details of my mod. I now have 50mm extra leg room. All legal and mod plated too.
