Hey guys(Ponyboy) I brought my front seat(drivers side) just the back to the shop. I had vinyl off. The owner said that the reason for the lean is that there should be a thick washer underneath the seat back closest to the center of car. He pointed out where the hole was. I know that's not reason for lean. Seat is just old. I bent it back in shape and put a bracket on inside of rear at an angle. So with that, Is there or should there be a washer affixed to the small hole under rear of seat. Pass. side doesn't have it either? ANd where do I get such a washer? thanx Paul

The washer that is most likely being talked about is a stopper for the seat back. Some had what looks like a bolt on the bottom end of the backrest and then there was a plate on the cushion. This setup adjusts the recline of the seat. It was pretty crude, but it was the '60s. I don't know what kind of lean it has, but I've been doing interior work for quite some time and never have I seen where this part missing would cause a substantial lean. Let me know if I can help more. Good luck
