I keep getting a dead leg when driving my car, and consensus seems to be that my seats don't have enough rake on them - they're currently
mounted on 1 inch bobbins front and rear so the base is level.
My intention is to fit a 2 or 3 inch spacer to the front two mounts of the seat, and mount the rear straight to the floor.
I quite like the bobbins or rubber mounts as it obviously reduces vibrations through the seat. I was intended on buying some hockey pucks (vulcanised
rubber) which are 1inch deep and very light. I'd then drill a hole through each one and then using them as spacers. This would cost around £15
for the number of pucks I would need.
Can anyone suggest a better way/cheaper way of creating the spacers? I have loads of threaded bar to use to bolt the seats with so it's only a
'spacer' I need as opposed to a bobbin-type mount that already has the thread built into it.
Thanks
Edit -
An authentic rubber spacer
similiar to what I need costs £14.99!

Could get you some aluminium (even lighter) spacers made up for £0.00
However, at your age, I think the option of less vibration outweighs the cost and weight.
How about these landrover engine mount rubbers ?
On ebay - item number 270715903091
Only £4.35 a pair, thats only £8.70 for four so you can do the front of both seats.
Not sure how thick they are but look like a couple of inches to me.
