Matt,
You are correct they are to adjust the seats. To be honest I have the same
problem on my 74B! I have yet to try to fix them since it doesn't bother me
all that much....When I owned the 71B they worked just fine! Of course had
I known in may of 1980 when I sold the 71 that there would be no more MGB's
I never would have sold it but that is another story.....I was young and
just married.......oh well..
If you do take the seats aprt and fix them please post your findings
Safety Fast!!
