Thanks for all the information.
Howard, my RK sounds just like yours! Getting my second foot in is the tricky bit!
On the AG I may have a go at making up a "pivoted mechanism" (also "Pivoted retaining slip (sic) on the offside moves laterally") as described in my early (magneto engine only...) Nicholson. He describes a "Cranked pin with a finger loop" to hold the seat which has to go through three thicknesses of metal...retaining strip and seat frame. I shall think about this!
He also says "don't adjust the seat too far back, with the idea of lolling in it" Shades of Issigonis' dictum of not allowing the drivers to get too comfortable, or they may not concentrate on driving!
If it works I may make others for the other cars.
