The front edge of the cushion on JL drivers seat doesn't angle up enough - I feel like I'm sliding forward. There are threads out there with the issue being headroom. Mine is more about thigh angle comfort. Any suggestions? I saw something about using 1/2" nuts as a spacer under the front seat frame bolts. It's been two years since this was last discussed.

Any new solutions?

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually came up with a simple/tidy solution on my own. Take a look at posts #68 & #70:

Ironically, I think that mine look less home-made than the store-bought solution, but as long as we all get that thigh support that we need. :)
Just want to share experience on the hex bolt tilt. So this weekend I put in the 1/2 inch hex bolts and for me I found their was too much tilt. So I went back to the store and picked up some 1/2 in by 2 inch flat washers. I found that using three of them on each side was about half the height and now for me the tilt is perfect.
