Hi Guys,
Just wondering how many of you guys are happy with the seating position on the big Healeys?
To me, the seats were too upright and stiff. There was no way I could relax while I was driving, so after many years of thought and experimentation I came up with the attached modifications. With the addition of a small foam cushion, the car feels just like a race car when I sit in it. No kidding.
1. Notice the slight difference in the first photo of how the back is reclined. Green car is OEM.
2. Another member sent me a pic of the OEM seating position so I superimposed it over my new angle.
3. & 4. Shows the adjustments that need to be made.
5. New angle for the seat back
6. Small foam cushion to fill that gap where the back meets the bottom makes a lot of difference in comfort.
You need only a used set of bottom seat frames if you want to try this out. Chrome-plated domed head bolts, fender washers and acorn nuts from the Bolt Depot finish off the installation.
