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. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Allen </div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Jan 10, 2021, at 4:20 AM, PaulHunt73 <paulhunt73@virginmedia.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

<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>
