What is the meshing-half like, although I can't remember what form they
take? If they are not in line are they able to slip past one another, i.e.
straightening may help?</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial',sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Yesterday we
partially dismantled the driver’s seat back on my ’71 B/GT to see why it would
collapse backward with even moderate pressure. Alas the problem is not
the same or as simple as Paul Hunt's—although a previous owner clearly had the
same problem as Paul, since the same pin was crudely tack-welded in place on
my car! Possibly from 50 years of failure to
pull the adjuster lever far enough before pushing the seat backward to
disengage the teeth, both sets of teeth are worn—and they're also not aligned
on precisely the same plane, so they're worn at an
angle.
