Isn't the silver lever you see for adjusting the seat postion on the seat
track?
Meaning, how far forward or backward you sit from the steering wheel/pedals?
A 250 seat back is firmly attached to the seat bottom...when the seat is tilted
forward, the WHOLE thing flips up (seat bottom and back) hinged on two bolts on
the front of the seat track. If your seats hinge between the seat bottom and
seat back, AKA recline, they are not 250 seats.
It's been awhile since my seats were in my car, but I know I have some good
pictures somewhere. I will try to dig them up. Might even have double prints!
And, alas, if your seats are not original and you need a pair of rebuildable
seats, don't forget your friend with the spares!
Good luck.
