Driver's seat not sitting square

Post by neilbardsley »

The right side of the driver's seat is forward of the left side. This is recent and causes an uncomfortable driving position. I took the back off but I don't think that is the issue. I think somehow the seat had moved anti clockwise on the rails?

Any ideas?ImageImageImage

Can you slide the seat out Neil, see if any of your bolts are loose? I take it the base is cockeyed as well as the back?

How do you slide the seat out? To the front? Does it slide on/off?

Pull the latch slider (which moves the seat back & forth) and at the same time push the seat forwards into the foot well and off the rails

Assy is the reverse

I chickened out and had Greatworth look at it with another problem. It appeared that the wooden and metal frame had become separated.

The orther problem was one of my causing too. I replaced the muffler a while ago because of holes and back firing. Unfortunately I didn't put any exhaust paste on pipes so it still back fired :(
