Where can one find these GT6 spring spacers? I can't find them in any of
the catalogs I have (Rimmer, VB, TRF, Spitbits, Moss). Or, is there a web
site with specs on this item so that one can fabricate their own?

Ken,
I don't think it is a good idea - the spacer on the GT6's spreads the spring
load over the entire seat, while using a nut under each of the three studs
will concentrate the load at just the stud locations.

I'm sure someone on the list has an extra spacer they can give you.
In regards to the body lean, check the true-ness of the anti-sway bar.
