Well I made it to the Derbyshire meet on Saturday ,what a great turn out but I arrived late and missed Lunch.
I had a good run over and am now happy with the handling of the car with the new adjustable shockers.
The rear ride height is still a bit OTT but nothing I can do about it at the moment.
So I now need to turn my attention to the seats ,standard leather high back Marlin ,good quality but a little too soft and set too high for my liking.Before I replace them with Cobra Cub or similar I thought I would have a go at lowering them.
The tilt mechanism is the only way I can see to achieve this as the back rest lever allows it to fall forward then I can't see any reason to have it .
If I can find away to remove it and replace the sliders to the base that should give me about an inch and a quarter.
I'm going to experiment with the passenger seat first.
Has anyone modified the Marlin seats?
