I have a feeling your idea of using shims, spacer, on the seat bracket is the way to go x100. I wouldn't wait if I were you and just get it done your way.

ps. also notice from the available stocks here that the smallest it is i.e. width&length, the tallest it goes :/
Thanks Fred.
If you cant find it, it probably does not exist

I'm gonna get some longer grade 8 bolts and some spacers and see if I can raise the seat 1/2 inch. I'm not overly worried about shear strength with Grade 8's and I tighten it down properly. Besides, if I'm in an accident where the shear strength of the bolts comes into question, I have bigger problems. In any case it would likely be my wife in the seat and she is well insured
