[Healeys] low back pain

[Richard Antal]

Several have emailed me off-line requesting this infomation.
The seat is called "Soft Seat Portable Seat Cushion Base/Lumbar Combo. Part # 
SKU: 33911-B. It comes in several colors and has also the option of adding 
velcro straps. I do not have the velcro. The cushion slides a bit when entering 
and exiting but is not a problem when driving. Hope this helps. I also now use 
this seat when driving my wife's Honda Civic.

Greetings Healeyphiles,
     I've noticed over the years that I could no longer drive the BJ8 1000 miles 

without stopping for the night and that after an hour or so of driving my back 
would be aching requiring regular dosing with Motrin or some other analgesic  to 

relieve the discomfort. Recently my brother in Chicago attended a Lotus meet and 

there was a guy there in a Healey who extolled the virtues of a seat he had 
purchased for his Healey. With that info in hand, I purchased one and can tell 
you that I no longer have any discomfort. I've only driven the car for 4 hours 
straight and don't know how well it would do after ten or 15 hours of driving. I 

have no interest in the company, Oregon Aero. They have a website. The seat 
thickness can be 1/2 inch, 1 inch or 2 inches. I have the 1 inch (with the cover 

it is actually more than one inch thick). The fellow who spoke to my brother 
said he had the 1/2 inch seat and found it satisfactory. Again, I have no 
interest other than our comfort.
