I think there might be some dispute as to the direction of the lean -- or at
least the wider portion of the seat off center. Unless mine were switched
at some point by the PO, the wider portions of my seats favor the center of
the car, closer to the driveshaft hump. Other Spitfire owners have told me
the same applies to their cars.
I believe that my uphosterer put the right-hand back seat cover on the left
hand seat. I've instructed him to switch them in the hopes that this might
also make it easier for him to fit the covers properly. I also took my 4lb
lead knock-off hammer to the formerly broken seat to try and put it back to
the proper curvature and original shape. Of course, I had to guess since I
had no pattern to go by (the other seat frame had been fully upholstered at
that point) but I think that I've come reasonably close so the job can be
finished. I'll find out tomorrow morning... Sigh.
Best wishes,
Jeff in San Diego
