Basically the length and width are the same but my original thickness is like. 34-.35 compared to the thicker ones which are .500-.510. The inline tube ones are also the thicker ones. I guess no one sells the thinner ones.

I ended up cutting these down to .440 -.450 so it latches and unlatches with minimal play in the seat.

Thank you for continuing with the thread and keeping us updated! I will make sure to note the differences we've seen here for any future questions.

Thanks!
