<div dir="ltr">Hi Carl -
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A common trick is to install a 1" high oak wedge from front to 0" back on the seat runners, and that will cant the seat back a couple degrees and make it very comfortable. I did this on my BJ8.<br>
<br>
Best,</div>

<div>As my age progresses the curvature of my back does also. Somebody out there offers a kit for adjusting the slant of the seat back.
