[Healeys] low back pain

[Charlie Baldwin]

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.

> i also have a bad back and dread long trips in the healey.  my problem is that i need a thinner seat back , not a thicker one.  i have the seat back as far as it will go and it still is too close.  my right leg tends to knot up from the contorted position after a while.  would it work to take the foam out of the seat and replace it with one of those lumbar pads?  hjim
