Hi all,
Well, I put the seats in after a compete headliner to carpet pad
restoration and everything in between. Now the drivers seat slides
forward to the point where the front corner comes up against the trans
tunnel and stops. This keeps the seat from sliding forward far enough
to accomodate my 5'4" tall wife. I suspect that the seats are installed
incorrectly, even though I put everything back the way it came out.
Keep in mind that I have never before looked at the seat setup in an
MGB, let alone sat in one until yesterday. Which holes should the
slider rails be bolted down through? Which side of the seat bottom
should the bigger cut-away face, towards the door or the trans tunnel?
Do the seatback adjusters go towards the doors or the middle?
I may have everything bass-ackwards, in which case Denise would be
correct in her prediction.

My intentions are good even if my execution is faulty. And I don't want
to go to my first MG meet and have people ask me why my seats are
installed all goofy. Can't find any good pictures or instructions in
Bentley or Haynes so I'm once again at the mercy of the list.
Thanks,
Lonn Howard
