[TR] Spitfire Seat Back

Hi All,

I was on my way to a car show in Kansas City Saturday and all of a 
sudden the seat back in my 80 Spitfire reclined way back.  The seat back 
catch just doesn't catch.

I took the seat out of the car and pulled the upholstery up far enough 
that I can see the seat catch mechanism, but I still can't tell for sure 
how it works (too much is hidden by the frame).  The frame is not broken.

Has anyone else experienced this?  I don't know if TR6s would use the 
same type of mechanism.

Any way to fix it without finding a replacement seat frame?

Thanks,
Roger Elliott
1980 Spitfire
