SPF Driver's Seat
I took delivery of SPO 1862 last night (Thanks Rich Lacy!). When I first sat in the driver's seat, I found that I needed to move the seat forward. I found the lever at the right front of the seat, but on trying to raise it the lever would barely turn. Putting more pressure on the lever, forcing it upward, only twists the lever and whatever it attaches too.
The mechanic at Dynamic Motorsports advises removing the bolts that hold the seat and rail to the frame. Once the seat is free, I can turn it over and look to see what is interfering with the operation of the seat adjuster. He's never experienced a similar problem.
Has anyone had a problem with the seat adjustment? Any suspicions as to what I might find, or what I should be looking for? My initial impression was that the leather covering the seat was limiting the upwards motion of the lever. There's minimal clearance but this theory fails to account for the resistance to moving the lever at all.
