That's a great idea. Thanks for the link.

The driver's side mirror on my '96 80 series decided to flap in the wind. Does anyone have one they would like to sell? Thanks, Ryan 4803163463

Does anyone else sell this? They want $17 in shipping charges.

Another option Here a couple photos of the mounting tab on the seat back frame. It looks like there might be enough room in the tab to drill a hole closer to the frame, thus tilting the seat forward. I'm not sure I want to modify the frame. I'd hate for it to come apart in a wreck.

As you can see in the photos I just posted, I would still have to take the hinge apart to get a file in there.

Here are a couple photos of the hinge. You can see the portion without teeth has a larger radius than the portion with. I probably could do this myself, but it likely wouldn't be pretty and I have a few favors I can call in with my machine shop owning friend. We'll see what he says.

It looks like they will come apart no problem. There is also plenty of room for more teeth to be machined. I'm waiting for a call back from a friend that owns a job shop. Thanks for the idea Tools.

That is a great idea. I have one of the seats 3/4's apart right now, I'll find out.

80 Series Rear Floor Mat Does anyone have an oak colored rear storage area floor mat for an 80 they would like to sell?

I met up with dranven yesterday and we determined that my seats are more or less normal. It is kind of odd that the seat will recline all the way flat, but won't go vertical enough for me to be comfortable. They must have been designed by some low-rider driving Japanese engineer. Now to...

They do seem to sit lower and slide further back.

I sent you guys PMs.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

Maybe. I like the extra leg room the cloth seats provide, but If I can't sort out the recline issue I may take you up on your offer.

Yep, mine are that wacky brown patterned velour.

I got the impression they have a shop in addition the sales. Was that your fenderless 80 I saw going south on the 101 tonight around 5:30? Thanks for the offer, I know the electric seats well - I previously had a '97.

That might work. The mounts are at an angle, so I'm not sure how much angle I could get out of it with a reasonable spacer. Worth a shot though. Thanks.

So the new to me 80 is a '95 and has the manual, cloth seats. The driver's seat back doesn't incline enough for my tempermental back. I like to sit very upright in vehicles. Is there anyone with manual seats near Tempe/Chandler/Gilbert that would let me sit in their truck? I need to figure...

So I swapped the seat backs today. The bolstering is much improved, and I don't feel twisted in the seat any longer. However it did not do much to improve the reclined feeling. The swap was pretty easy, and is a super cheap way to buy some more time from the 16 year old seat foam. I may...

Is it possible to swap the seat backs driver's side to passenger's side? I can't come up with any reason why it wouldn't work. The seat backs should be symetrical. I guess i'll give it a whirl tomorrow afternoon.
