Jonas,
You can add spacers under the track, I did this by cutting a long wedge to s=
upport the length of the track.  Longer bolts, Bob=E2=80=99s yer uncle.=20

Or fit Miata seats.  ;-)

I think the =E2=80=9Cboth sides folding forward=E2=80=9D condition resulted f=
rom a replacement of the driver=E2=80=99s seat with a passenger one. One or t=
wo of my parts cars came that way. The driver=E2=80=99s seat would wear out/=
break more so than the passenger one through greater use. I simple fix for a=
 worn out/deteriorated driver seat would be a better condition passenger sea=
t from another car. Didn=E2=80=99t work so well on TR4As and TR6s because of=
 the different shape of the seat backs.

Andrew,
Looking at the VTR Judging guide, neither seat folded forward until TS8637, a=
fter that only the passenger seat folded.  On my TS30800 both seats fold for=
ward, I quite like that.=20
