 Why not just take the same mechanism and get new parts laser cut out of 4130
or D2 or some harder/stronger mat'l?  Should just bolt right in..  Then again,
I've never seen the actual Lancair seats to see if this is possible...

  I purchased two front seats from Jim Griffin some time ago.  They used the
Lancair frame and Jim customized the seat back and bottom.  The seats had a
 weak reclining mechanism with aluminum teeth that fractured easily.  I
understand that this reclining mechanism has been discontinued (for good
reason) and there are no reclining mechanisms available for this seat.
 
  I was wondering if anyone has found a suitable reclining mechanism for the
Lancair seats.
