I'm thinking If we are talking degrees the same principle might apply.
Ones first inclination might be to get a hefty ride along passenger and let her weight balance things out. I guess just by the definition alone, that in itself would eliminate any bachelor lean! But in my experience, I'm thinking it may be cheaper and less trouble in the long run to just deal with the springs!

That's interesting Richard. But do you think the same concept applies with the very "un dragster - like" torque of the midget? Or was the the PO a single fat guy.

So I should find a fat girl as a test subject? Geez, where in Wisconsin would I find that?
This phenomenon showed itself on the driver's seat that came with my Purple Rat Midget project a few years ago. All the padding was flattened on the back and butt areas but the vinyl was perfect. It even looked like the previous owner might have rested his big fat arm on the tunnel while driving. I could just imagine a big, stocky elbow might have rest on the bulkhead behind the seat. A rather heavy person had been reclining here for so long that the seat adjuster froze in the far back position and the seat was crushed against that bulkhead.
