So, I purchased 4 nuts and washers (the bolt is a ¼ 20 size), and I screwed the nuts ¾ of the way down the rod, so that there was just enough sticking through the support so that I could use the original nuts to tighten them down. That moved the seat back forward by 2+ inches, which was just enough for me and the wife to reach the controls better without the extra back support.

Problem solved, and it only cost me about $4 in nuts and washers.

I appreciate you guys helping me think it through!

Fantastic ! Good to hear !
