additional leg room

I used 1/8 thickness

[Recap]

Went to TSC yesterday and while in the hardware isle notice a flat plate with holes in it.  I think it is used for screwing two boards together.  I is about an inch wide and 3/16 thick, so pretty stout.    The holes were large enough for a 5/16 bolt and the holes were spaced just over 2 inches apart.  Bingo!   $3.99 each and I needed 2 of them.  Got the chop saw out and cut up the pieces I needed and bolted it to the seat and bolted seat to floor.  Job done.  The extra leg room is fantastic.  I did have to remove the scuff plate and when I did, I found spacers under the carpet on each of the seat studs nearest the door.  I removed these and then put them between the seat bracket and the extension plate.  This gives you more grip length on the studs in the floor yet keeps the seat in the same orientation.  Part that took the longest was cutting the metal!
