shelbyluvv Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Anyone got a drivers seat with tilt that can take a pic for me? I need a picture of the tilt lever area. Basically if you look at it from the door side (with the plastic removed) is there 3 bolts holding the frames together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I just went and looked at/took pix of the setup, and I saw rivets holding the floor brackets on, and the rest of the frame bolted together. This is on a XJ seat that I am going to be changing over to my MJ in the AM. I'll post up later on the actual tear down, if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Ren, thanks for the pics. But, those are of the bottom sliders. I need pics of the parts that make it recline and tilt forward on the side of seat under the padding and fabric. I was wondering if they were the same setup as the 97+ XJ seats. Jeff, I have a plan in the back of my mind to do something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Oh, sorry :doh: . You are asking about the hinge area where the upper and lower cushions meet, then? I'll have a pic. up in a couple of minutes, as I am currently tearing down the MJ and XJ seats for the sliding tilt mech. Be right back.....( going to garage to take pic of pivot/hinge area) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Well. I tried to peel everything back so that I could get the pic, but my seats have side bolsters on them and they DO NOT want to move without the foam tearing apart. I did manage to see somewhat, and the ends of the frame at the hinge area are squashed flat, then held together with a rivet. as for the actual rachet and pawl for the tilt, I couldn't see anything, as it is mounted on the outside of the foam, which is wanting to tear. I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Thanks for the effort Ren. You surely did not have to go through all that. I found my answer on google. I need the tilt stuff from a 97+ XJ seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Ahh, it wasn't a total bust. I figured that since I had the seat pulled down that far that I would go ahead and fix the cable that works the seat realease for the fold-forward part. It was strecthed out pretty bad, but a couple of zip-ties took care of that little problem :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
