I didn't see Chris' original message (problems with mail-server), however I once changed 
the back of the driver's seet due to a problem with the adjustment of the back
(one side of the back was one "notch" more behind that the other - a very awkward
situation).  I tried to repair but had to give in in the end and buy a new 
back frame for the seat.  This, naturally, comes without the cloth - just
the bare metal frame with springs, wires for the lifting etc.  I did this some
8 years ago, and only remember that things went well, nothing was destryed, and 
I even got the opportunity to adjust the springs in the back to fit my own back 
better.  So, don't be afraid, you have to use slight force and bend metal here
and there.

Good luck,

Soren.
