<div> <font size="3">If it is of the folding variety you can block up the back so that it doesn't go so far back. If it a non-folding seat, good luck. Those are welded up in that position and you would have to cut the welds and reweld it in the desired position. It might be a better/easier fix to have an upholsterer change the padding adding more up top provide more support up top and less below.</font></div>

<div class="yiv3944623705MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">I think the “both sides folding forward” condition resulted from a replacement of the driver’s seat with a passenger one. One or two of my parts cars came that way. The driver’s seat would wear out/break more so than the passenger one through greater use. I simple fix for a worn out/deteriorated driver seat would be a better condition passenger seat from another car. Didn’t work so well on TR4As and TR6s because of the different shape of the seat backs.</span></div>
