For the uninitiated, these were designed and created in conjubnction with the input from a member who had worked for the Land Rover design people. The input resulted in the modification being made to a specification which provides 100% safety when fitted. By that I mean it will perform as well as the OEM set-up of a bolted seat frame.
The idea came about when I noticed myself "slouching" in the seat whilst driving...this was mostly caused by "butt slippage" on the leather seats under deceleration and braking.. the regular need to push myself back in the seat to maintain a comfortable driving position on longer drives became tiresome.
The seatlift mod raises the front fixing points of the seat slightly, so that the actual seat of the chair tilts towards the backrest. This keeps one more comfortably positioned under normal driving. 10 sets will be available of which 3 have already been reserved. They are £22.00 per set plus postage which last year was £14.00 Registered Airmail. Transit time is 6 - 10 days from postage date. Anyone wanting to reserve a set - or two, please PM me.
To describe briefly the requirements of the mod one must start with the seat slide front mounting points. Under the slide at the hole through which the stud passes, there is a small round "nipple" which locates into the floor of the car. This is a locating nipple and positions the slide in it's correct place to ensure the two slides remain equidistant. It also serves as a safety feature by "keying" the seat into the recess in the floor, and adds to the security of the passengers even if the nut is slightly loose. The same nipple is provided on the lift mechanism spacer, and on it's opposite side is a recess where the nipple under the slide can locate into. This ensures the entire system is truly in line and can be secured correctly. In place of the OEM nut, a "sex bolt" is provided. This has an internal M8 thread and an outer 12mm shaft. The shaft passes snugly through the center of the spacer and the bolt then screws down onto the OEM floor stud as did the OEM nut.
Below is a pic of the kit so you can see what I have described above. There have been alternatives presented on various forums including this one for lifters which achieve the required "lift"...they are way cheaper than my offering, but if you do some research into them, you will see the folly of using them. They are at best a method of raising the front of the seat without any hint at being safe in an emergency. That being said, responsibility for anyone else's or your own wellbeing in an accident may be disputed by an insurance cover when using an item which is obviously not safe to begin with. That single issue was the motivation for creating a system which is as good as or better than an OEM fastening set-up.
No alterations to the OEM status of your car is required and the fitting is quick and simple... remove the 2 front nuts, slightly loosen the 2 rear mount bolts, lift the seat at the front and position the 2 spacers under the seat slides so their nipples engage into the recesses on the spacer. lower into position, and secure both sides with the sex bolts... re-tighten the 2 rear bolts, and job done...Retain the OEM nuts should you want to reverse the fitting at any time later.
