Spridget seats have a fixed backrest, and the angle may or may not match the driver’s anatomy. Common wisdom is to raise the front of the seat to change that angle and to provide additional support to the upper leg for the accelerator.
Jeff picked up a 3-ft. chunk of 2” x 2” (nominal – 1 ½” semi-actual) oak last week and used his bandsaw to produce two tapered pieces 15” long (same length as the original wood spacer for the seat) with a 3/8” thick rear edge and 7/8” front thickness with a width of 1” (identical to original spacer). The stock spacers are a bit less than 3/8” thick overall so we've retained the same rear spacing up from the floor.
The seat rails are bolted (i.e. not studs etc.) to the floor and the only change required was the use of longer bolts.
It’ll be a month or two before she’s on the road, but trial fitting butt-to-seat felt extremely comfortable. The modification does move the top of the seat back slightly rearwards but the change is insignificant. Doug
