Default Tudor front seat adjustment

Is there any way to change the stop point on how far the seatbacks tilt?
I find myself lately holding onto the steering wheel to keep myself upright instead of slouching way back if my back rests against the cushion.
Worse comes to worse I'll use a small pillow, LOL

their should be little legs (bumpers) on the back bottom of the seat -they could be missing, also your springs and stuffing might be worn _in your seat I mean !!

1928 had a bar across the bottom rear of the seat cushion, then it was changed to two cups in the rear corners. Either way you could slip a board under the rests, which will raise the rear of the cushion and tilt the backrest forward.

I think a seat cushion held in place on the backrest by a couple straps would be a better choice.

Tom:
Mine has the bar on the bottom so I think I will put a small board across to raise it up like you mentioned. Should be a big help!
Thanks!

A pricey option is the 6 " adjusters from snyders they give much more leg room and tilts the seat also. I have them on one of my Tudors

You can buy the little legs (bumpers) that are deeper than the originals. In my Tudor, I installed them along with the 6" adjusters plus the 'board making it a perfect fit.
