|

Ok, so driving my M38A1 is a blast. But the stock drivers seat is killing my back. I have noticed that some seats are "reclined" more than mine. Has anyone modified the drivers seats to make it more comfortable? Thanks |

I find my M38A1's drivers seat very comfortable - seems to be reclined just right for me. Rather than change the metal framework you could rework the seat cushions - backrest thinner at the top and fuller at the bottom to get more recline.

You need to keep an eye on those seats, I've noticed that, on my M38, over the years, the driver's seat has been slowly creeping towards the steering column, almost to the point now where I can hardly get in the seat. _________________ Chuck W.
