[Healeys] raising the fulcrum point

[Mark Donaldson]

Ira, 

This is what one of our members has done to his BN7.  I am doing the same to my BT7 road-racer.

All that is required is to fold up two opposed pieces of 16G mild steel.

As you note, it makes things more comfortable for taller drivers  . . .  I am 188 cm ( 6’ 2” to you folk.)

Plan attached.

 

Cheers

Mark

Subject: [Healeys] raising the fulcrum point

 

someone either on this list or FB asked about how I raised the fulcrum point on my seats to lean the seat back and make more room for taller drivers.

I realized others may want to see it too. I also had inflatable lumbar supports put into the seat backs when I had them recovered. Adds more arm length and leg room, plus more comfortable to have some lean.

Moving to a bigger property next month and will have room for all my toys in one spot.
