Adjustable Golf Cart Seat Back Brackets

thingiverse

I recently acquired a pre-owned 2007 EZ-GO Golf Cart, but it had one major flaw: the wrap-around seat backs offered an inadequate incline angle of just 5 degrees, forcing me to sit too far back and straight up to feel comfortable. To address this issue, I considered adding a block under the seat to boost its forward tilt, but that would have blocked access to the batteries when trying to raise the front seat. Instead, I opted for a more innovative solution: designing adjustable brackets with a 10-degree adjustment range. I chose to model my project in Fusion 360, and it turned out to be an excellent tool for this type of design. Once I finished printing, everything fit perfectly into place. While this project may not have widespread applications, I decided to share it here in case others might find it useful. To replicate the brackets, you'll need four 3-inch long 5/16 bolts, along with nuts and washers for at least eight 5/16 bolts. I also needed four additional 1-inch 5/16 bolts to secure the plate to the existing frame, and I used thumbscrew nuts to allow easy adjustments. In the end, I found that only five degrees of extra adjustment were necessary to achieve a comfortable seating position, and I can easily restore it to its original setting whenever I want.
