Anyone buy something from the hardware store that worked? I know it's possible to order them online but I'd really prefer to just get the suckers and put them in tomorrow so I can get going on my subs and hopefully get the seat to fold! Thanks.

the ones that came with my fox box is just wood with holes drilled in it for the bolts. I forgot the dimensions but just get a block of wood the correct size or a piece of metal.

Perfect, are you 4th gen guys able to flip your seat forward with the spacers, or does it take some metal work?

If you have the tools, I would think tacking a couple steel washers together would be better then the MDF.

...or oversized bolts (need less of them vs. washers). I would never use MDF.

They make exterior grade mdf now - if you get enough water in your cab to destroy them you got other problems!
