    Seat post plastic shim

    Anyone replace the seat post plastic shim in the floor? Mine are cracking and chipping a lot. It is a round sleeve about 4 inches long. Pulled mine out to inspect and it is very brittle.

    I did and after they cracked again I went with the adapters to go to a 3/4" pin post. I'm much happier with them.

    It's been a while but it may have been Springfield but I do see that Amazon and Attwood have them.

    I have. Easy. Mine was plastic and I cut it in two places with a sawzall and collapsed it in on itself and pulled it out with channel lock pliers. Cleaned up the baseplate hole with a acetone and glued and drove the new one in.
