face=Arial>That's what I thought you were meaning Lori. It's actually the pot
metal/soft aluminum adjuster block under the seat that is worn. Someone was
looking at having them made out of a harder aluminum, or out of steel, but
couldn't find a pair that weren't already worn to make a set. This was about 2
years ago on the Samba type 3 forum. I haven't heard anything since.

see if you can find a seat to harvest a better pair out of. </FONT></DIV>

face=Arial>Short of that, you're probably looking at having a block or 2 made
(slightly wedge shaped, and with a couple of holes thru it to fasten it to the
seat base) that can attach to the seat base, right under the curve for the
seat back rest. Keep in mind that it would limit any seat back adjustments
(changing the angle), without having to change the blocks position.

face=Arial>I've experimented with this on my wife's Fastback, mainly because of
a posture deal for her (she prefers to sit more upright than the seat actually
adjusts). But, it's her car, and she drives it, not me. ;-)</FONT></DIV>
