I will study further over the weekend and see what I have got.edge (and perhaps others) - I've never discovered if original or not, but I've come across dozens of seats that had a flat steel strip (about 3/4" wide, from memory) that is bent into a U shape, with the"legs" riveted to the outsides of the seat backrest, and the flat part of the strip in the middle sitting flat on the floor behind the transverse seat strut. If the driver is tall and thus needs the seat moved back as far as it can go, there is quite an overhang behind the seat strut, thus the attached steel strip not only reduces side-flexing & longitudinal bending of the seat frame, but takes up the weight. Hope this helps. Cheers, Bill in Oz
