Anyone know where I can buy the riser without the entire floor? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
Post a want ad in the Swap Meet?
I'll look tomorrow but I think the riser is attached with spot welds. Is the floor under your seat riser sound?

If your floor is good you might be able to salvage a riser from a junkyard AD.
If you are careful with a spot weld drill I don't see why you couldn't remove one without butchering it.JMO

I replaced the drivers side floor. The riser looks simple enough to remove and replace but I'm really surprised I can't find the aftermarket parts. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Don, I do not know right off hand where I saw it but one is available but not just the riser by itself. I think it was part of the floor board.... this is from my bad memory!!
EDIT: check out "sheet metal" on several of the vendors. I know I saw it somewhere.

Just can't justify $529 when I don't need it all. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | ..... I understand perfectly! And thats probably what I saw.Sorry. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 493 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 493 | Have you thought about cutting out the bad metal and welding in some new? I found some 1" 16 gauge angle at Lowe's that looks like it will weld in the bad areas pretty well. A Dremmel tool and there small grinding disk will get in most areas to make the cuts. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 4 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 4 | Hey guys, I think I removed the seat riser from my 48 AD then decided to replace the entire floor. I will look in my shop tomorrow and let you know for sure. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 71 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 71 | Thanks for the ideas. In fact,I buy sheet metal panels at Lowe's and use them for patches. I'll search a little more for the 16 gauge angle. My wife thinks Lowe's is "the other woman" I spend so much time there. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 4 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 4 | I have a seat riser from my 48.

Thanks for the offer but I was able to find a piece of angle I can weld in. As it turns out, I really only need to replace about a foot long section.
