Fixing a seat

The hinge on the back of the drivers seat broke, basically making the seat useless. Rust was the problem, although the car is pretty much rust free, so I don't know if the seat was original or not. After some searching, I found a pair of seats on ebay. The vinyl on the seats was torn, but I wanted the frame. I basically used my seat cover and foam on the squab frame (the back of the seat) of the seat I bought on ebay. The "new" seat works great, and is pretty much as good as new.

Of course now I have to get sell the extra seat that I bought!

Seats...

I'm 6' 2" and when I sit in the B, the sun visor is basically directly in my line of site. I solved this by removing the visors, but they really look sort of cool. I also slouch when I drive. Today I took an alternative approach and removed the clips that hold the webbing under the drivers seat. I let the webbing sag down and I replaced the clips with some wire. It looks pretty tacky but of course you can't see it when the seat cushion is in place.

I kept the clips in case I decide to put them back

Now when I sit in the seat I look squarely through the windscreen. I think it lowered my seat by close to 2 inches. Much better. My hair won't get messed up as much either.
