I’ve got the seats out of my 80 FI while I’m finishing up the upholstery and wanted to permanently fix the broken drivers seat back so it doesn’t gangster lean anymore. Does anyone have pics or ideas of good quality fixes?

Here are a few pics of the damage.

This is what I did after I straightened them. You'll want to reweld all the joints too.
