Drivers Seat

Post by s.unsworth » 27th May 2019 - 2:27pm

Asked on Wanted if anyone had a good Driver Seat, due to my Original Seat and then a used replacement Seat having got very, very laid back. What is it that makes the Seat get so laid back, and what can I do about it please ?

I see 1600lenotchback has a Set of Front and Rear Seats for a Notch or Fastback for sale on eBay but they need refurbishing, and there’s nothing wrong with my Variant Rear Seat, which is different anyway.

Had a look today at the 2 Drivers Seats I have. Found out how to adjust the Cable to release the Back of the Seat to fold it forwards. I think the very laid back Drivers Seat is due to wear on the Rake Adjustment Cam(s). Has anyone found a way of fixing that please ? Only thing I can think of is sticking strips of metal, nylon or rubber on the plate the Cam(s) rest against, or some sort of rubber or nylon Bushes between the cross shaft that turns the Cam(s) and the Holes in the Seat Base. Had anyone done something like that ?
