I'll take a look at mine in the AM, but if I remember right, the feet only added a couple of milimeters to the seat rail height.

Thanks Zippy - I don't have any loctite but can get some tomorrow - and I might as well grab a T40 bit that I can add to my ratchet and socket set, because the manual driver I have really doesn't lend itself well to super-torquing of bolts.
