Hi All,

I was on my way to a car show in Kansas City Saturday and all of a sudden the seat back in my 80 Spitfire reclined way back. The seat back catch just doesn't catch.

I took the seat out of the car and pulled the upholstery up far enough that I can see the seat catch mechanism, but I still can't tell for sure how it works (too much is hidden by the frame). The frame is not broken.

Has anyone else experienced this? I don't know if TR6s would use the same type of mechanism.

Any way to fix it without finding a replacement seat frame?

Thanks,
Roger Elliott
1980 Spitfire
