The drivers seat in my 95 EVC seems low in relation to the steering wheel and I would like to raise it. I’m thinking that a couple pieces of wood under the seat running front the back and longer bolts to bolt The seats down would do the job. Anyone done this? Thoughts? |

Haven't done it, but would advocate against wood spacers. Anything that could experience plastic-deformation during an impact/crash and allow slack in the fasteners that is holding your seat to the chassis should be avoided.
Metal spacers? Sure. Wood? Hell no. _________________

I don't think electrickery works that way |

A phone book under your butt.
I'd replace the wood with square steel tubing. _________________ 2002 EVC |

Wood and upgrade the bolts to 12.9 from Belmetrics or other reputable source eBay Amazon Harbor Fright
