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

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.
