I have a 73 Euro GTS that has seatbacks that recline and fold forward.  The

capability to recline is of limited use but it does come in handy to lay the

seat back a notch or two to provide enough headroom to wear a helmet.  I've

seen these recliner mechanisms on newer Panteras and assumed that they all

came that way.  The fold forward capability makes it pretty easy to access

rear bulkhead, but I still take out the passenger seat to take it out so I

have some elbow room when working on the front of the motor.



Which brings to mind one a question of no real significance but a nagging

source of curiosity.  On the hinge with the recline lever there is a small

knob (about the size of a quarter) that turns.  I haven't figured out (nor

found someone who knows) what the knob is supposed to do.  I can't see

anything happening when I mess with it.  Just one of life's little mysteries.



Anybody with higher DeTomaso learning know what the knob is for?
