Maybe the shorter leg's are a better deal for us old guys ,
that way you could add an inch & a half to the pad in top .

I added some height by getting crutch tips (Is that what they're called?) and partly filling them with washers. Quick and dirty solution, but probably not good for 1.5".

| The legs on mine are made out of 3/4 copper tubimg. If that is what yours are made from you just need to sweat (with a propane torch) the joint loose and put a piece 1 1/2 inches or whatever in its place. Quite an easy fix if your legs are copper. |

| Mine are definately copper, painted black. Different brand of seat though as well. The copper is pretty sturdy on mine it may be an easy option for you getting 4 90's a couple feet of straight and custom making your own. A buddy who is a plumber can help you out easy whether copper or tubing. You could even use emt conduit and make some pretty sturdy custom legs for just a couple of bucks. |

Michael, I had the same problem with mine.
I used the rubber tips for a while, but had to take them off to fold the legs away.
So I got some 3/4" electrical conduit to extend them. Just cut off the desired length and splice them together with some wood dowel rod. Drilled holes and bolted them together.
I'm sure there's a better way to make the connection, but I was in a hurry and it works for me. Plus the legs will fold away now.

Bob, I measured the difference in my old short Sho-Bud and my GFI. The short side of the Bud seat is 10 3/4", the long side is 11 3/4". To bring it up to the GFI level, it looks like they need to be about an 1 3/4" to 2" longer. The diameter of the aluminum pipe is 1", exterior dimension.
I sure appreciate it!

| I need some too.Mine are about 2 1/2 inches too short. It could take 3 more inches. The short side measures only about 6 inches from the bend to the bottom. |
