[Healeys] seats

[i erbs]

steering wheel is tight already without raising the front of the seats. I
had the fulcrum point raise 1/2 " and lowered the seat back hole 1/2" so
the seat back tilts back. Also had a pump lumbar support installed when we
recovered the seats. Driver seat foam was cut down and hogged out
underneath so it crushes, but I think it's still too thick as I sit pretty
tall. I have a 1" dense foam seat I sit on.
