I hope this works

Thanks for your guidance G-man....it worked.

A welding shop or a machine shop can put a longer pin with threads on that seat pole pretty easy

If that is a 3 inch Long stud they do make a 4-inch long stud pedestal you could spacer out the difference with washers.

Thanks for all the good advice.

Unfortunately, it is 4". Thanks

The plate looks to be about 1/4" thickness and the carpet thickness is a factor also
Have you tried to stand over and push down on pedestal and turn to compress carpet enough to maybe to grab a thread and start it on?

Would it matter if the threads never catch. Many 3/4 posts don't have threads. I'd bet it fine either way. Check it, don't sweat it.

you are correct the base plate is a 1/4 inch thick...and once again you are correct...the carpet is a factor...never thought of that, thanks. Not sure I want to cut a big square out but I think that would most likely be enough. Yes, I have tried pushing down on it.

The seat is too wobbly if you don't thread. When properly seated (without plate) the butt seat doesn't even wiggle. I really appreciate your response(s). Thanks

Don't cut the carpet. Need someone with lathe who can mill 1/4 inch off.
