type 3 seats
my seats have quite a lean on them is their a way of adjusting the mechanism too hold them in a more upright position? their also quite difficult to tip forward are they just plain worn out? is their a fix?

Hi you may find that the frame needs repairing as they tend to crack or break.I had to remove the covers and have it rewelded

likewise - have just had one done

probably the top corner spring broken or the clip that holds it to the frame...

as far as the mechanism goes (for tilting forward the seat) it may need a repair or just a grease... maybe a bit bent too...

eitherway - covers off - carefully - repair and replace covers

if its not your kettle of fish - give Brad at busnbug a tingle and he'll sort it out for ya... ; )

good luck

coolio, ben
