Default Dimension please...

Hi Jordan

Curious about the rise in the rear and the front floor bracket. I have one from a Ford F15 but the height seems different....almost double I think.

Easy enough to replicate form flat stock. I have seen some similar stamped knobs available on Ebay recently.... but ....duh!!!!! did not save the site.

These seat risers were actually found via a posting on Facebook from a seller in Italy. They went to the Czech Republic with the seats I was very fortunate to have been able to work out with that buyer to get just the risers. They've traveled more then I have. But I'm extremely grateful.

Anyway onto the measuring. These pictures are from the original seller in Italy.

Here are the drawings I did of three of the bins from the Wire-3 FFW truck. These were based off of my best guesses using the available pictures and measurements of the two bins above the wheel wells.
