What a difference an inch makes.

it's not that I'm being a " dick " as you say. he's a grown man working on his own car doing what he needs to do to make it more comfortable. then the naysayers and safety police come along and tell him it's all f'd up and everything he's done is completely wrong. according to who? have you done crash tests with a seat bolted on spacers? live and let live Christ.

You are being a dick. Ddaddy made an absolutely legitimate observation, and did it politely. He didn’t say what the OP did “was all f’ed up” or that it was “completely wrong”. He simply pointed out that it might not be safe, and it isn’t.

Every single one of us at one point or another has done something on our cars that we thought was a great idea —until we realized we didn’t consider something important. Happens to everyone. We “know better” but sometimes we overlook stuff. Most times it’s just something silly and it’s not a big deal.

But sometimes it has safety implications, like this. Ddaddy just pointed that out. He’s not trying to be the “seat track police”, he’s trying to help another member and keep them from making a mistake that could cause serious injury. It’s called looking out for people.

And heck, if milehighdart wants to ignore him he can, it’s his car and his life. At least he can make that decision knowing there might be consequences.
