Those teeth do seem pronounced, even with some wear.  What is the =
meshing-half like, although I can't remember what form they take?  If =
they are not in line are they able to slip past one another, i.e. =
straightening may help?

Is recline adjustment needed i.e. more than one occupant who moves it?  =
Until a suitable replacement is found could  it be locked in position =
with a bolt, or even welding, to enable it to be used?

  Yesterday we partially dismantled the driver=E2=80=99s seat back on my =
=E2=80=9971 B/GT to see why it would collapse backward with even =
moderate pressure.  Alas the problem is not the same or as simple as =
Paul Hunt's=E2=80=94although a previous owner clearly had the same =
problem as Paul, since the same pin was crudely tack-welded in place on =
my car!      Possibly from 50 years of failure to pull the adjuster =
lever far enough before pushing the seat backward to disengage the =
teeth, both sets of teeth are worn=E2=80=94and they're also not aligned =
on precisely the same plane, so they're worn at an angle.           =20
