Alan-

The lowering of the front of the seat bottom is to bring the foam into
conformation with the shape of the original foam pieces, not to lower
the front edge lower than original.  Sorry, I did not make that clear.
Evidently the currently available foam pieces are not the original
shape in that regard.
