FS: Aluminum Seat Spacers, Risers, Jackers For Seat Mod, Xmas Sale

Does this change trigger/impact points for the side curtain airbags and such. Interested as long as it doesn’t muck with my safetys!

 

I can't imagine it would. If you were taller or shorter, or had the tilt on the back more forward. I get what you are asking and I had to think about it, but I don't see anything negative personally. I am no specialist so I could be wrong. You do this own your own risk.

 

The Seat Spacer will be perfect for you then, I did not need the full 1 inch so I made 1/2 inch ones that fit the bill well (I'm 6'2) not looking to see over the hood just the angle of the seat did not feel the best.

 

same as sticking a 1 inch thick cushion under your butt as long as you use Grade 8 bolts and make sure they are as tight as heck (look up the torque specs) and you are sitting 10 inches back from the steering air bag, not leaning on the side of the door the side curtains can work as designed.

 

If anybody needs shorter ones I can turn some as well.

 

Grade 8 is what Toyota use on the Seat and all critical bolt downs that is the closest US Standard, However what Toyota really uses is the Metric standard and that is 8.8 if you look at the bolt head sometimes you can see a little 8.8 on the top.

 

Thanks for the help. Here are what I have.

 

If you could figure out a spacer for the front bolts I'd, and I am sure many others, be all over this! I'd like to keep the angle of the seat as it is....just with 1" spacers in both the back and front.

 

That is something that I would not recommend because that would be changing how secure the seat is bolted in to the floor and introducing a weak point, I have done it on a 2nd Gen for someone and if you decide to do it Use good steel not aluminum. Plus it is going to be more than 1 inch Rise if done correctly.

 

I’m in for a set of front spacers.. If I have to pay upfront I’m willing to.. this seat is flat.. I need some support on my legs.. I’m 6’ and I can’t be higher.. the center rear view mirror blocks my sight already sometimes.. so I can’t use the rear spacers..

 

I will have a look at it to see if it is something I can do. I have all manual machines, with readouts but no CNC. I will get back to ya.

 

Thanks man! I would do it myself but I’m a woodworker and I definetly can’t make those spacers from wood.. haha

 

subd for front spacers. i have a set of different rear spacers....

 

Well OK if you look at how the front on the seat rail is mounted to the floor it is Not on a Flat parallel to the ground surface it is on a vertical surface so to raise the front we took two flat stock cut 1 inch x .25 inch thick x 2.25 inch long drilled 1 thru hole in front the bottom edge about .75 inch up to match where the seat is currently bolted in place and then the second hole about .75 inch down and put a bolt, lock washer and nut in place used cold rolled for strength. again I am not recommending this just saying.....

 

p

pics?

 

Sweet, what kind of equipment do you have(I'm also a machinist)?

 

I think ill take a seat for the rear.

 

Pm’d .

 

You remember how or pics of the ones you did? I have materials and machines, ( not a machinist ) and know my way around these machines but trial and error really not except-able in my shop. Thanks ahead

 

I will draw it up for you only thing is I do not remember the exact center line of the thru holes and and when we installed it had to bend them back towards the rear about 10 to 15 degrees to match the angle of the rail mounts (we just tapped them with a hammer) until they lined up.
