Does size matter, well 2" was created by Tadpole
For the last 15 months or so since owning my jimjam I've been sat on various booster seats & cushions to achieve 'elevation' in the 'Jimny'.
With no height adjustment I struggled to get a comfortable driving position.
Not any more, thanks to 'Helijohn' I had a mate cut me up some 2" box section.
After a coat of paint left to dry overnight I removed the driver seat & fitted it all today.
I'm well pleased so thanks John .....

That looks well good tadpole, I love it. And you have done yours a proud paint job..........I just threw on a quick whiff of black spray on mine. What I like is the combination of lift with rear adjustment as it gets my position to the pedal (auto) just right.
Did I say I added another ¾" of spacer on the back two; it tilts the seat forward which is amazingly a great improvement in comfort as well as giving more lift.
Don't the passengers look low down now.
Nice centre console BTW!
Do it right - use Hammerite
When the blue light is flashing I am kidding.
