<DIV><FONT size=2>Sounds exactly like the problem I had. There is a pin
where the back pivots against the base that holds the teeth in mesh, and that
had broken away on mine. 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.

<P class=MsoNormal>The driver’s seat back on my ’71 B/GT will not stay where
it is set. Anything more than moderate pressure will throw it
backwards. Clearly the teeth on the adjuster are badly worn. Any
advice for dealing with this?</P></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
