Re: [Healeys] low back pain

[Charlie Baldwin <mgcharlie@comcast.net>]

Most of you have seen reference here to the '60 BT7 with 14,000 miles on 
it.  The reason that the former owner sold it to us was that he could 
not drive it for more than a few minutes before his back hurt.  He put a 
pump up rubber lumbar support inside of the seat back.  It has a bulb 
that you squeeze to pump it up to whatever size that you like.  It is 
very hard to pick out because the bulb and hose hide alongside the seat.
That is one of the very few non-original items on the car.
