So i have a fair bit of play in my seat back on the 850 , is there any easy way to fix this ?
Dont notice it when driving but its annoying me , was thinking about brackets to stop the play or small welds etc

Yours is not a typical problem. The seat back cable breaking is fairly common but that typically results in the seat back angle getting stuck (usually too far reclined). If there is play I would start by checking the actual mounts at the base and make sure they are good and tight. Any play on the mounts gets exaggerated on the seat back.

Beyond that, I suppose whatever works with what you have available. There is no typical fix since it isn't a typical problem.
