<DIV>Hi Listers:</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I finished raising the drivers seat back 3" higher last night - works very well.&nbsp; I have a long torso and short arms, and the stock seats force my shoulders to hunch over.&nbsp; Back pains finally forced the issue, so out came the seat for changing.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp; The seat was taken apart down to the metal frame, then with a die grinder and a cutoff blade, the back was cut just below the lower cross piece.&nbsp; The insert was made of a flat&nbsp;piece of steel 1.5" x .125", and the outside flanges were tubes of .5" square by .063" thick.&nbsp; I welded these together in a C shape, then cut the ends at an angle to fit the profile of the seat frame cuts.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Welded, painted, reassembled.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net effect:&nbsp; I have lumbar support nearly where it should be, the arm rests are correctly located, and all is well in the universe.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>I have photos of the process if anyone needs..........&nbsp; email me off list.</DIV>
