30-31 roadster seat adjuster

[Planojc]

Getting ready to install the seat backrest in a 30 roadster. The seat adjuster has two positions that move the top of the backrest back an inch or forward an inch from the package tray. My question is which position is best? it only moves the top of the backrest about an inch, so does it really make much difference which position?
Thanks John

You have a seat adjuster ? Hmmm.

That's what it's called at Mike's "A" Fordable and several other vendors. 31/31 Roadsters only. It attaches to the wood on the backrest and to the package tray.

Try it in both positions and see which one is the best for you.

The "seat adjuster" is just a choice of two sets of holes that you use to fasten the 2 pieces of the "package shelf" together. I am 5" 11" and use the set that tilts the back of the seat back a little more. The only other way to to gain more room might be to compress the spring more when putting the backrest upholstery on. In any case, you will find that roominess is not a feature of the A Roadster.

check your 2 piece package shelf. You should be able to see where the two metal pieces are fastened together using one of 2 sets of holes. It is probably covered by upholstery but you might see the bolts/nuts if you look at the bottom of the shelf from inside the trunk/rumble. These 2 pieces of metal are part#s 35050 and 35060 in Bratton's catalog or look on line at their website.
