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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>Keith Stewart<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><a href="mailto:keithstewart@bell.net">keithstewart@bell.net</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> bill beecher <<a href="mailto:notakitcar@yahoo.com">notakitcar@yahoo.com</a>> <br><b>Sent:</b> April 30, 2020 9:44 AM<br><b>To:</b> andrew uprichard <<a href="mailto:auprichard@uprichard.net">auprichard@uprichard.net</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> <a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net">triumphs@autox.team.net</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [TR] Tilting seat on the TR2 and TR3<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>Andrew,<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>Looking at the VTR Judging guide, neither seat folded forward until TS8637, after that only the passenger seat folded.
