I am looking for seat riser brackets for my Smart 451 so my wife (4'11") can see over the steering wheel. Does anyone know where I can purchase them? Or, does anyone know what the dimensions are for the standard seat mounts (i.e., the distance in inches between the seat bolts)?

you might want to buy longer socket head cap screws (unscrew one and take it to your hardware store, find out the size) and buy longer ones (4), socket head cap screws are "stronger" than grade 8/10.8(metric) hex head cap screws (bolts to you non-fastener folks) maybe 25-50mm longer than stock (1-2 inches) and get appropriate bushings to support the seat at the higher height. the bushings will be the difficult part, you might have to get a local machine shop to fabricate them.

just use the appropriate bolt "nuts" as risers and two washers to have a larger area of contact... with the obvious longer bolt.

the 450 had risers available, these woul probably fit.
