I have wood.
I looked into the fix for the seat sliding forward under braking and to tell the truth, I just don't ever see myself going through the trouble.
So I used two small pieces of wood behind the seat. I tried a couple sizes til I got it right. With the proper size blocks, I was able to power the seat back but the wood holds the seat in the "forward" position of the approximate 1/2 inch of loose travel. Problem "solved".

If you have " Wood " for more than 4 hours you're suppose to call your doctor.

As long as it works, you did a good job.

I do everytime I walk out in the garage!
I did the nylon washer fix on my seat tracks to replace the destroyed rubber gasket. It was some good bonding time!

I'm not knocking your fix, I'll probably do it myself if I ever need to. It's just when anybody mentions wood on a car I remember the guy with the white 49 Olds years ago.

They are made of a composite that includes wood, but to say they are wood is incorrect. I know the guy who added the revision to the design and was approved by Dave Hill because it reduced weight without structural compromise..

I usually wake up like that or I should say on occasion.
Guess the fix is a little like the OPS. The fix can be done either of three ways.
Five or six years ago, there was a fellow Forum member who used two chains.....go figure.

I simply put a small block of 2 x 4 on the floor behind the seat. That wasn't quite enough so I put a small block of 1 x 4 in front of that. I moved the seat rearward until it came in contact with the blocks and pushed the seat forward in the loose section of movement.
