    Seat pedestal

    Ok so I need to replace my original Swivel-eze P30012a seat posts. Does anyone know what size or replacement I can use that adjusts. I can’t find any info online about these seats. Mine measure just under 1.75 it appears and the new pedestals I find are all 1.77”

    You are correct. You can either buy a flap wheel sander attachment and sand/enlarge the post holes to 1.77, or use a palm sander and sand down the lower portion of the 1.77 posts to 1.75. Another option...there are 1.75 bushings that are press fit into the 1.75 base that convert it to 3/4" posts......You could change the base to a swivel-eze snap lock base for 1.77 posts.
