#1 Series 1.5 2+2 drivers seat adjustable mechanism

Post by jamesmatheson » Tue May 09, 2017 9:04 pm

Hello there, recent new owner. The drivers seat(rhd) has lever and adjustable mechanism on wheels he side of the seat which is broken and has had a screw put through it to hold in position. Should there be a spring on here? Where is the best place to buy new parts or whole unit? Advice please

the usuals have a complete mechanism. Around $300 per seat if I remember correctly. I think the previous owner fixed the "auto-recline" feature that these seats get after 40+ years of use. So far, I have not heard of a repair to these mechanisms.
