<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">If you are referring to a BJ8 I did the seat tilt 30 years ago. I am 6-2 plus and it made a difference. The seat top just touches the iteriro quarter panels. The wood strip beneath the seat frames are 1/4 thick in rear and 3/4 thick in front.

<div>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.</div>
<div>
<span><span>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.</span></span></div>
