First post, so please excuse mistakes.
Being 6.4 tall, i was desperate to extend the seat runner, hence bolted and welded a metal bar i had in the garage, to the seat runners and mounts.
Purpose of this thread was to show/add pictures as what took 2 hours - the pros may laugh but its served my purpose for my hobby car project.
Cant attach pics as im new or not approved by admin. Happy to send pics to admin if told to do so.
1. Removed the four bolts holding seat down via runner mounts
2. Turned seat upside down and put on work surface.
3. Drilled out the four flat head bolts (two on each runner), out of the two seat runners which were securing the mounts to the runners.
4. there is a small spot weld next to each bolt i drilled out. the spot weld can be drilled out but with a small crowbar and tapping mounts with hammer, the spot weld comes apart cleanly.
5. I cut the steel bar so i could extend seat going back by 3.5 inches
6. drilled 4 holes in the bar as shown with white dots on the extension bar.
7. attached 10mm flathead with bolts.
8. front and back runner holes (due to drilling out original securing bolts) allowed easy bolt tightening/securing - other two bolts you can see in pic.
9. few spot welds on inside between runner and extension bar.
10. tried seat location to check mounts all lined up.
11. took seat out and double checked all bolts tight and added an extra nut on each bolt.
12. some WD40 in the mount holes, sorry that was done when i removed the seats, just to clean the bolt threads.
Cant believe how easy that was and also saw how i can add a bit more sponge on the front seat where thighs rest.
So pleased as the drive position is so comfortable now
