Cj5 Seats

Does anyone know where to find the rubber bumper (or stops) that goes on the rear legs at the base of the CJ5 seats? Thanks!

 

No, but I found a chair leg rubber boot that looks and works well, if you don't need factory correct.

 

A chair leg rubber boot would work, that is all it is anyway, but put a fender washer in the bottom to keep the tubing from cutting through.

 

Got mine from Walcks.

Thanks!

 

Isn't that a crutch tip? Take it to your local CVS and compare - they have stuff like that on pegs there.

 

Hey Trip......Good 'ol Walcks , Eh?

 

The ones at Walcks are the same as what they sell at hardware stores. They are only a buck and a half each, but you have to pay shipping. I am pretty sure the boots on my CJ5 are original, they are flat on the bottom, and have flat washers in them to keep the tubing from cutting through.

 

I can always put them to the belt sander to flatten the bottom and cut a piece of flat stock if no washer fits. I could also weld shut the bottom end of the seat base to prevent cutting through the rubber. I still have to get them upholstered. I have time...

 

Yeah! I have nothing but good things to say about him so far.

 

Sanding down the rubber boots is an exercise in futility, and welding shut the bottom of the tubes is sort of the same thing. Finding a 1" flat washer is not so difficult.
