I have an 59 sportline with a double front passenger seat. It is OK but the seat back is a bit upright. Has anyone found a tweek that will allow the seat back angle to be increased.

I've not messed with my double but my drivers captain seat, I found it too 'flat' so I've tilted it a little by packing under the front fixings.
I should think the same thing could be done with the double? It would lift the front edge and tilt the back rest. Edited by Berisford - 14 Jun 10 at 23:13 |

Berisford take a bow son!!
Simple ideas are always the best and why didn't i think of that for the front seats thats exactly what i did when i fitted a front bench seat in the back of mine! DOH!!
I used stainless steel square plate/washers that i found in a DIY store

Yes me too, but don't you find the captains seat a bit 'flat'?
By jacking up the front I find it much more comfortable, with a little extra support under the back of my legs, a fair amount of recline and both arm rests down I'm well in command, so to speak.
