[Healeys] seat back adjusters

[Harold Manifold]

Carl, et al:

I modified my drivers seat to recline by cutting off the original tab on
the seat frame and fitting a longer tab made from 1/8 x 1 MS. I tapped two
holes in the new tab for different seat back angles. The head of the bolt
is ground thinner and to fit next to the cushion. To change angle,
unscrew the bolt and move to the other hole. Pictures attached.
