I have a set of Aerostar captain seats I am putting in my 40. Is there anyway to make the back of the seats tilt forward? They do recline but I need them to tilt forward

Is there a street rod builder, Or a very good auto upholstery shop
in your area ? Perhaps they could switch the recline mechanism from
right to left, in each seat, so instead of reclineing, they both fold forward.

Check out a similar year Mustang or Escort 2 door. The mechanisms are adaptable to many other seats of the era. Aerostar seats were not meant to fold forward but the 2 door cars were. Tbird Cougar.
