China Man Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 there is a big spring which pull the seat forward when the lever is pulled. Check if that is still intact? China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Wow, that is something new I have learnt about the Supra after all these years, I didn't realise that the seat was suppose to slide forward when you put the seat back forward. That spring is hanging loose on mine, often wondered what it was doing under there and now I know, thanks China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Just been and had a look but the spring is fine. On the other hand the bit i've circled in red doesn't seem to be attached to anything. I'm taking it is?? Can you take a close up picture for me Ben?? Slight hijack: Nic got my harnesses yesterday Cheers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I think it is for the duel control mechanism. there are two ways to move the chair, one is the lever under the seat "for the front passenger" and there is a lever at the rear left corner "for the rear seat passenger to step on it" I think that is anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Nice one. Seems it needs to be attached here. Gonna pop out and see why it isn't. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I never knew it was supposed to do that. Just been out and checked and sure enough that spring had fallen off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I think James have discovered a common supra fault My bucket doesn't auto slide forward, I think I may mod the corbeau seats and add the stock spring to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 mine also does this, use to work as it should by flipping down and slide forward but now it only flips down, done it for a while now so yeah i am going to have a look at the said possible problem!

China Man Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I got a few PM about the left over leather seats. I have no plan to sell them at the moment as I plan to have the car for a couple of years before selling and I will keep the seat until then and revert everything back to stock.
