I hope this is the right place to post this. I've got a '66 w/buckets. After having seats overhauled (painted/new foam/new upholstery-everything except the springs & frame) by a good shop there's things I'm not happy with;

1. Instead of the seat "holding" you as you drive ther's a "bounce" from the seat springs as the suspension reacts to the road. Is this normal?

2. I think my 250 lbs is more than the seat was meant to handle. After 2 outings there's signs of sag in the bottom seat. Is there a way to fix/prevent this ?

3. At 6'5" I need more leg room. Any suggestions on moving my seat back 4 or 5 inches?

All help is appreciated. Thanks.
RG
