FINALLY, I have an interior mod that didnt come out of a spray can or invovle fixing somebody elses bad wiring

...and only 2 bloody knuckles from a slipping wrench !!
I now have cav hi-back buckets and rear in the sunbird, and one big "oooopppssss" on my hands.
The new buckets must be from a 4-door, since they recline fine BUT are missing the knob/mechanism to fold foreward. Kinda makes the back seat a skinny-people-only proposotion
Anybody know a way to install the fold mechanism off the old seats without taking a razor blade to my nice new upholstery ? I've looked and the best I can come up with means removing them again and taking off the seatback cover. I'm hoping somebody has a trick up thier sleeve.
Better yet, anybody know why I call fighting with rusted bolts that were last loose 15 years ago to be "fun" ?
