Adjustable Golf Cart Seat Back Brackets

thingiverse

I recently purchased a used 2007 EZ-GO Golf Cart. I loved everything about the cart except the wrap around seat backs which had only about a 5 degree incline angle which made me have to sit back too far and sit up straight to be comfortable. If I were to put a block under it to force the seat back out further it would prevent me from raising the front seat to get to the batteries. I decided the solution was to create adjustable brackets that would give me about 10 degrees of adjustment and I wanted to try modeling the job in Fusion 360. It turned out that Fusion 360 was an excellent tool for designing a project like this and when I was finished printing everything fit perfectly. I know this is not a project everyone can use, but for those who might find it useful, I decided to go ahead and post it. You will need four 3" long 5/16 bolts plus nuts and washers for at least 8 5/16 bolts. I had to buy 4 additional 1" 5/16 bolts to mount the plate to the existing frame and used thumbscrew nuts to allow me to easily change the position. I found I only needed about 5 degrees of additional adjustment to make the seat comfortable and I can restore it to original position with ease.
