I would be less inclined to blame the Iztec seat and more inclined to blame poor fitting as regards seat washers.

Use sheet metal instead of the bog standard seat washers and make the support area much larger.

Fit a washer inside under the standard countersunk washer to also spread the load.

You can support lead and prevent the chance of losing it by using suitably formed aluminium sheet to spread the surface area loading inside the seat.

The lead will only fall to the floor and is unlikely to make any contact with a driver's anatomy and just gets driven over.

I hope they don't over react on this and just advise the use of more support.

They could cut flat pieces of plastic from the Zip nosecones to use.
