[Mgs] seat back adjustment

[Allen Hess]

Paul, thanks for this and the web photos. I did my seats last year and sometime later I found a pin on the garage floor. Had no idea where it came, though similar to pins in the top frame. It’s still on the workbench and now on my to do list for Spring.

Unfortunately I didn't discover it until the seats had been recovered and were back in, so had to live with it.  Next time I recovered them (the previous covers were rubbish) I found the problem and welded a cut-down bolt in its place, and all has been well since.  Ironically I then discovered that the part is visible with the covers on, and could have been repaired the first time had I known where the problem was.
